[Hidden-tech] Significant boomer survey findings now posted on EONS

[Tish Grier]

Here's the link to the survey:

http://www.eons.com/survey/welcome/10

and there's no need to register to take it.  

Most social networking sites will want you to registers--however, you have to be the one to decide if it's important for you to be part of that group or not.  If you think you may have trouble managing all the various registrations out there, then don't register and don't feel bad about not participating.  

There is an Open ID movement and an Open ID site that's working to allow people one login and a portable online ID that can be taken from one site to another so you don't have to re-register everywhere. But not many sites are into Open ID--it's a marketing thing.  They want to have *your* profile and any user-generated content you might leave on that site for some future use.

No one knows what they're going to do with all that UGC....

The EONS site is "clean" but has weird functionalty and the eye doesn't always follow this particular "clean" design (for some reason)  I found the link to the survey in a box on the right-hand side of Amy's page.  It was, however, easy to scan past.  Not good for a site that's supposed to be for older folks (many of us who are in the bifocal crowd!)

Christine,

My problem is no registration, a fairly easy and superfluous task,  
but the dang obscure navigation of EONS and the lack of a reliable  
search tool. After an hour of so of poking around, I could not find  
the survey, even from Amy's page.
