Pay me to chat

on: Dec/8/05 and its been viewed 986 times

I was contacted a few weeks ago by the folks at Harris Interactive to participate in a moderated discusison about emerging web technologies. Basically, it’s a Q&A online discussion that they are conducting for market research purposes. They found me via E.Webscapes - dropped me an email and asked if I would be interested in participating in the A part of the Q&A - - and they’d pay me to do it. With dollar signs attached and the opportunity to talk about a subject that I love and am totally obsessed with - - of course I agreed! One hour a day for three days, answering questions and queries about everything from emerging blog technology, connecting mobile technology to the web and other bits from my obsession. Today was day two - - tomorrow is the last day, then they cut the check.

I could do this every week!

    Thanks, Lindsey! Unfortunately, they don’t publish the Q&A publically until it’s all over.. so it’s not a public forum at all - - it’s all password protected and available to the folks who have been given access. When the results are finally posted, though - I’ll post the link :)

    I hope they ask you to do it more often! Although with you leading seminars and having speaking engagements and junk, I would miss your hands-on designs. You are the best, you know. (I think that’s caught on.)
