    Well it does look very nice, but being in the UK I'm not sure I can use it (figures).

    After getting an invite from the folks at Vudu I declined to participate after going through their 50 question based entry form that is a ploy for gathering marketing  information (that is, age, sex, income, purchase habits, what I have in the house  both in technology --  although they didn't ask about my state of the art popcorn popping machine,  they did ask about every other piece of computer, radio, tv, and recording and playback mechanism that I own or intend to purchase now or at any time in the remaining life of this world -- and in number of kids. Oh they also asked about  how I have the house wired... Internet outlet next to the TV?  for example)...

    I'll give my time to companies looking for beta testing, not marketing survey takers  -- as I suggested to them in my reply, if they want this information they should ask after having built a relationship of trust, not before.

    Holy crap! Are you serious?

    I would wanna go thru that either. Things like that make me angry

    Very Serious....

    I've beta tested for IBM, Microsoft and  both alpha and beta tested for perhaps two dozen other companies over the  the last 3 decades -  I've never seen a beta qualification form like this.  I answered their questionnaire with rubbish, refused to supply my instant message, phone number, address and other contact info and asked that they remove my name from their mailing list in email sent seperately to the beta management manager that sent the invite and to sales at the company.  I'm interested in their response if any.

    I'd be interested to see their response too...

    Did you say why you wanted out?

    2007-07-18 21:53:36.0

    Yes, I told them why their questionnaire irked me, but didn't tell them of my history of software testing (as beta tester and commercial software developer on the other side running beta tests).... if they are honestly interested in building a beta testing community  they will respond (even if only to say they disagree with my view point) If they are not, stone silence will be all I get..

    Either way, I'll put a post here.

    Yeah...

    Thanks!

    The folks at Vudu have not responded to my email.

    you'll get a follow up survey about your experience and satisfaction with the first survey

    Not so far (11 days and no longer expecting anything) 

    What makes you think that LongerRope? Have you got such? Are you connected with them, or had a good experience with them?
