What a dangerous way to recruit respondents for any kind of research... I don't know what this blog's reader profile is, but I hope they're not overly sophisticated web users...

Hi, that isn't the only way Macromedia gets feedback during development... self-selected focus groups like this are just one of the ways to reality-check development work.

WHEW!! Glad to hear it. But how much do you pay for "self-selected"? Isn't any amount too much?? Isn't this like a poll on the CNN website?
