CED0540 week 4 - Bill Tancer and survey

This week we closed and complied our surveys.  I must admit I really like the use of the Internet when it comes to surveys.  Yuck, can you imagine creating and analyzing a survey without it.  I like Survey Monkey, but the free version does have its limitations.  Something to keep in mind.  Overall there really wasn’t anything surprising in our survey.  It did leave me wondering though, about what kind of people use animal daycares?  Who are those people?

Learning about Bill Tancer was interesting.  I found it even more interesting that I had never heard of him before this class, even though he seems to have left his mark in many different places.  I found his work interesting, but I little unnerving that someone can find out so much information with the right program and a little work.  I think it does open the door to errors, just like he himself stated with his couple of examples, if you don’t break down the data enough.  I think it’s good for examining Internet trends, but wonder how much value it has in other areas.
