[...] Tell your friend that a more transparent survey site might get a higher rate of participation...not that there's much value in a self-selected survey like this anyway.

Thanks, you're right that I should have posted the original link to the university's site:

I don't like clicking shortened links either, because there is no way to know where they will redirect.

More importantly, you want survey participants willing to register on some unknown site. First, I don't go to bit.ly sites...too risky. Even if I were willing to risk it, I won't give out personal info (i.e. register) for a site unless it there's some value in it for me. A situation like this doesn't seem to require any of -my- personal info, so another fail.

Thanks for the feedback, I should have posted the original link so that sifters could see it was from a credible university.

In this case, the survey methodology is such that with enough responses, statistically significant data can be extracted.

Nice first submission, it should do well based on this video:

What a cute gargantuan hamster! *promote for truthiness.

Glad to see this long film get eight votes on the first try. I like the mix of expert and non-expert interviews, it gives good flow as a documentary style. *promote

Great post! I hadn't come across this previously. I'll probably use as many promotes as it takes to get it sifted.

This is surely the documentary I have been waiting to see for years.
