Default Potential new virtual trainer product

Hi, I'm a student from SJSU working on a group project for an entrepreneur. We've created a survey based on health/fitness to better understand the market. If you could fill it out it would be great.



One lucky person will win a brand new ipod nano and will be contacted via email between Oct 24-29.

Please fill out the survey by 10-9-08/

Thank you!!

-Travis

The link didn't work for me. If you're with a university, why doesn't your URL have "edu" in there somewhere. I teach at university and all that I've seen have this. If this is a university project, I'd think you'd be using university resources. If this is a commercial endeavor, you may get banned here.... possibly by me.

UPDATE: I went through the entire survey and I'm thinking that this is bogus. I don't like the questions and I'm fairly certain that if I enter my email address at the end (to presumably be entered for the Nano), I'll be getting sent info on some product to buy. If the person who posted this comes back and provides more info as to its legitimacy, MAYBE it should stay. If not, delete and ban!

I'm a student and doing a marketing group project for an alumni member for a potential product he wants to develop. Its not a university funded project, it is a school project from a group of university students.

If it is inappropriate you can delete it. I dont want to cause any harm or disrespect. I just figured that using the internet for the survey responses would help with finding interested participants and also allowing them to not feel rushed.

The email address is to give away a free iPOD to one lucky person. This was funded by our "client" (the alumn) and is 100% legitimate. Its to increase the incentive for people to participate. Obviously there is no way for you to know if it just a trap to get you to join a list for advertising purposes and through a forum post it hardly is worth trying. But i will try anyways- I will only use them to send out a thank you email and to notify the one person who wins and to ask that person their favorite color for their iPod.

I apologize if I was wrong in posting the link (By the way it works fine for me). I'm interested in why you don't like the questions as it will be very helpful in learning the mistakes we've made so in the future we don't repeat those. If you don't like the ranking questions I'd agree with you as those were changed last minute by our client and i feel they are worded and set up poorly.

Thank you. If for some reason you change your mind the link is Intelligent Fitness Survey (We used tinyurl because if I use the survey monkey link it will be way to hard for people to type in. We put the link on a flier that I created and this is much more intuitive.)

Otherwise, feel free to delete. I'm sorry for any inconvenience.

-Travis
