In case you were unaware, over the past few weeks the airwaves forum hosted a viewer-satisfaction survey, enticing our loyal community to respond by dangling a $50 amazon.com gift card in front of them. With their impending frivolous shopping spree in their sights, folks chimed in on various aspects of the forum.  And, much to my delight, there wasn’t all that much negative feedback.  In fact, some may even call it “positive.”  Go figure.

Here are some of the key stats:

• 50% of the respondents visit the forums two or more times a week; 17% visit multiple times a day
• Given a scale of horrible/poor/fair/good/excellent (horrible equaling 1 pt; excellent 5), not a single participant selected “horrible” or “poor” for any of the seven forum aspect rating questions
• Overall, the forum received a better-than-”good” rating (4.14)
• Six of the seven forum aspects received an average grade of “good” or better, with “Community Responsiveness” the only piece just shy of “good” (at 3.78, it looks like we all better pick it up!)
• Half of the forum survey respondents also read the blog; 33% didn’t know we had one
• 58% of our readers subscribe to our RSS feed

Oh yeah.  The contest winner.  I nearly forgot. :)

And wouldn’t you know it but our sole International respondent is the lucky recipient of the amazon.com gift card.  Ron of T-Systems Business Services GmbH leveraged his weekly visit to the airwaves forum to pound out his response.  Great job, Ron.  I hope they ship to Germany!

Thanks again to all who took the time to help make airwaves better.

And while the contest is over, feedback is always appreciated.
