sciblog things to do

I am really bad about participating in the ScienceBlog collective initiatives, backchatter and other social initiatives

mostly this is because I am too busy or have an overinflated sense of selfimportance, I guess

so, this is a feeble attempt at a remedy:

1) Big Think is doing a Donor Choose challenge - $1 for student science projects (in USA) from Pfizer for clicks.
Er, so go click and stuff.

2) SEED is doing a ScienceBlog audience survey, this is important for their internal understanding of the actual audience, how it compares with their target audience and who they should be recruiting, what they should commission etc.
Oh, and for advertisers and selling them the demographics.
So this impact MY potential future payments...

You.Must.Take.The.Survey.Now.

To enhance probability of actual audience participation, they are handing out some very nice Apple toys to the lucky survey participant winners.
I'm informed the odds are good.
So take the survey and then distract your friends so that they do not.
