Hi all, I've posted to this list and other lists many times before, as you can see by searching in your inbox history. My university email is pcs2001(at)tc.columbia.edu. I separated the @ sign to avoid receiving spam myself. If you wish to reach me you can simply replace at with @ sign. Audible gift card is normal practice as prize, and I added Samsung tracker and Saks Fifth Avenue to ensure a more representative sample in terms of gender and device platform both iOS and Android. I created a shorter URL to make it easier for people to copy but here's full long URL as well. Shortened survey link is http://goo.gl/kmk0t5 Full survey link is http://kwiksurveys.com/s/dJmtEKFz Thanks a lot in advance for taking the time to take my research survey. Regards, Phil So [email protected]
