Another survey...not by me!

Ok, it's been a while since I've updated this page. My apologies for not being able to publish the results of my survey at least until November 2010. I've to abide by the university rules.
I'm helping a friend on her work. Please read below and do participate. Thanks.

Many people use social networking tools, such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, for many reasons. At the workplace, it is still unclear  whether these tools are distractions or they help boost productivity. We, researchers from the University of Maryland, invite you to take a worldwide survey to understand the relationship between social  networking tools and job performance.*

The survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. Your response will be confidential. You will NOT be identified under any circumstance and only aggregated results will be reported.  If you complete the survey and provide your e-mail at the end, you will receive a summary of the results and have a chance to win one of FOUR $25 Amazon gift cards.

PLEASE TAKE THE SURVEY HERE:

Finally, if you could forward this invitation to your colleagues and friends who may be using social networking at work, we'd appreciate your gracious help. Thank you!

Sincerely,
