My secret project at Google finally launched!

http://www.google.com/insights/consumersurveys/home

Google Consumer Surveys is both "a fast, accurate, and affordable way to do online market research"
(http://googlesmb.blogspot.com/2012/03/fast-accurate-and-affordable-way-to-do.html)
and a "new revenue option for web publishers" (http://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/google-unveils-new-revenue-option-web-publishers-139261).

If you want to see one of our prompts, check out any local news story on limaohio.com. For example: http://www.limaohio.com/news/findlay-81432-killing-prison.html

If you're curious about what survey results look like, here's a survey that I ran a while back after feeling confused and frustrated about tipping:

I just got a call from #GoDaddy. The rep said he noticed that I'd transferred my 60+ domains away (I've still got a few there that I'm working on transferring, but am being conservative with, since I can't afford any downtime at all with them), and wanted to know if I'd tell them why. I got to tell them that it was because of their #SOPA support, and that I couldn't in good conscience give my money to a tech company that would support legislation like that. I told him I was aware that they had reversed their position, but that their explicit support of it in the first place had cost them my confidence in them, as it is at the best viciously ignorant, and at worst, malicious. The rep was quite sincere in his apology to me, asked if there was anything they could do to win me back. He had a "We support IP protections, and now realize that support of SOPA is too broad"... more »
