What do people think about the new survey that's being put on by the Berkman Center and SciencesPo? Some people aren't very happy that it's being given a big banner: See the discussion at ANI.
I took the survey, acted like a selfish pig, and got $30. You guys should try it. I'm not sure if you actually need a Wikipedia account - I think you just need to set up a PayPal account so they can give you money (or you can be generous and give it to the foundation - I'm sure that will be a popular option with this crowd). |

QUOTE(Eppur si muove @ Fri 9th December 2011, 10:42am)  F*ck it all! I just logged into a 23-month-old sleeper account, just to collect my monies! I wonder... if their intention was to distribute the solicitation to only a small percentage of users, but they accidentally issued it to all users, do you think they received magnitudes more respondents than desired, and now don't have the budget to actually pay all of the participants? That would be hilarious! If anyone receives an apologetic e-mail from the Berkman Center, explaining how an "unanticipated mistake" led to the collection of too many surveys, and there is no budget to pay you, let's hear about it. I think I know a class-action lawyer in Massachusetts who would be happy to bring a case against Harvard! |

I think I know a class-action lawyer in Massachusetts who would be happy to bring a case against Harvard! There was a statement on the village pump that for a short time before it was taken down, clicking on the banner gave a message that the target number had been reached, and they weren't taking any more. So it sounds like Berkman decided ahead of time how many surveys they were going to do (I think I read that the target was about 2000 on a different page), and then cut it off so they wouldn't have to pay to many people. Still, 2000 people earning an average of say $25 bucks is a good chunk of change. |
