So today I saw an ad on craigslist for a focus group that said:
Manage an online group or run a blog constantly
Post on your blog very regularly
Actively involved in managing group discussions online
Build your own website
We will need to access your online postings before issuing a formal invitation.
Sessions are 90 minutes and a total compensation of $200.00 for qualified participants
"We will be conducting interviews among men & women 21-45 who participate in one or more of the following activities:
So since I am an under-qualified, unemployed loser, I gave them a call. They called me back and got my web site address to confirm that I really had one, and asked me a few questions about my site and activities therein. They said they had to review it and that they would call me back.
About an hour later the phone rang, it was the market research firm. The guy said to me, "I'm really sorry, I thought you were perfect for this group. You fit all the requirements perfectly, but the client looked at your site and there was something that they didn't like."
I of course, assumed it was the many, many pictures of penises with my name on them, but I asked anyway. "What was wrong with my site?"
"Well frankly," he paused for a second, "they said that you, well, that you just didn't talk about yourself enough."
As the kids on the Internet would say, LOL.
