Chuckle, chuckle: selling it
September 30, 2009
I love this survey question that TechCrunch asked their readers, undoubtedly prepping a proposal for their advertisers (you have to answer ONE of those, at least, to get to the next question, btw). I think we’ll have to add it to our own list (substitute our pubs for TechCrunch in the appropriate places).
Q.15
Why do you read TechCrunch? *
My suggestions on what they ought to add as choices to their survey:
- It makes my day when they ream my startup competitors.
- TechCrunch is the bomb for snarky comments.
- I can’t get enough of their ridiculing PR firms and/or competitors.
- TechCrunch is my master. I bow to the supreme ruler.
- I’m just waiting for the next twisted startup-founder-stalks-Michael-Arrington story.
- Web 2.0 is my religion, and TechCrunch is my god.
- I religiously read every article, particularly for the advertisements, so that I can buy thousands of dollars of product from them.
- I don’t have much to do between classes, so I read TechCrunch.
- Valleywag isn’t producing the juicy stories (sex/scandals/drugs) I need, I’m hoping TechCrunch starts picking up on that point.
- It’s my only way of figuring out if Twitter is down.
All joking aside, at least their list is not nearly as dry and humorless as the usual “How much firewall hardware do you buy in a year? What is your highest level of spending authority? How much money do you make in a year? etc.” (For the record, my answer would be “None of the above.”)
