Your participation requested for an academic survey

Dear forum users,

We are doing an academic research project on online service quality. We would be grateful if you could spare 3-5 minutes and complete our online questionnaire. The link for the questionnaire is provided below.

http://www.uwe.ac.uk/bbs/osq/

Thank you for your help and time.

P.S. spanner gave me permission to post this message.

EDIT:

We're doing a follow-up survey to finish this doctoral research. It has been decided by the faculty administration that one of the repsondents will win a Free 6GB iPod Mini (including free shipping) for her/his participation - this is open to everyone worldwide.

There are no open-ended questions in this questionnaire so it can be completed by only clicks.

There are two questionnaires: one about Hotmail, the other about Yahoo! Mail. These two websites were chosen because they are popular sites but this research is purely academic so data or results will not be shared with Microsoft Corporation or Yahoo! Inc.

Please enter your email only if you want to take part in the free iPod draw. Collected emails will not be used for any other purpose. When data collection finishes, the winner will be determined and contacted by email.

Link to Yahoo! Mail questionnaire:
http://www.uwe.ac.uk/bbs/osq/y.html

Please visit this link for more information about the research:

You can use the email on questionnaire pages if you have any questions.

Thank you for your time and participation.

    Well, I thought that links to external websites had to be approved. Why are links to surveys being included here now?

    Felix: I don't know why you try to confuse everyone by writings things that are so untrue.

    This post has been approved by the site administrator spanner. It doesn't have any links to commercial websites and I don't work for an agency... I'm a Ph.D. student at UWE, Bristol Business School and the questionnaire is hosted on university's website. .ac.uk domains are for educational organisations in the UK, equivalent of .edu in the US.

    Thanks.

    I thought things like this were meant to go into the new forum that Dom made.

    It should, but no one gets to post anything there at anytime for any reason ever.

    MI5 is internal security, MI6 is external. So no.

    Thank you everyone. I'm almost finished with my data collection but I still need about 100 more participants to achieve my target sample size.

    I hope there are a few other people who wouldn't mind participating.

    i started doing it, but got bored and it sounded like they were going to try and get me to change ISP to a cheaper one, which although isnt a bad idea, I dont want to fill in a commercial survey by someone pretending to be a student.

    If I wasn't a student, the questionnaire wouldn't be hosted on the university's website.
