Engaging with Our Readers: Survey Findings

Two weeks ago, we included a survey within TechNotes asking our readers to take a few moments to give us feedback on the Instron Community Blog. We received a great response and various comments on what you would like to read about. Everyone who responded will soon receive an Instron Community Blog T-shirt!

Within this article, we also included a chance for one lucky blog follower to win a new iPod Touch. Congratulations to Colleen Arendt — your new iPod Touch is on its way to you!

When asked which categories were of the most interest, below is what we saw the trend to be.

In addition to the categories listed above, I asked for specific feedback on what each reader would like to read about. Thank you for your great responses — your feedback was very generous, and I'll work on incorporating all of your ideas into the Instron Community Blog.
