If you would like The Gadgeteer to continue to bring you fun and informative gadget reviews, then I would like to ask a favor of you. Please fill out our advertiser survey. It will only take you a couple of minutes (5 at the max) and the demographic information it collects will help bring relevant advertisers to the site. Running a large site such as The Gadgeteer requires a lot of expense and ads are what keeps the goodies flowing, so please click that link!
For those of you that do fill out the survey, you’ll be entered into a random drawing to win a mystery bag of gadgets. What’s in the mystery bag? If I told you, it wouldn’t be a mystery, would it? 😉 I will tell you that the bag contains items that I’ve reviewed or talked about here on The Gadgeteer. So it won’t include be a roll of Charmen toilet paper or a pack of chewing gum. There will be at least 5 items in the bag and the overall value will be at least $50.
This contest is open to anyone, living anywhere.
Contest Details:
1. Fill out the advertiser survey before Midnight EST 3/31/09. Be sure to enter your email address in the appropriate field in the survey. Don’t worry, I solemnly swear that the address will only be used to contact you if you win the mystery bag of gadgets.
2. After you fill out the survey, come back here and leave a comment to this post.
3. I’ll choose a winner at random some point on Wednesday 4/01/09 (no, this isn’t an April Fools Day joke).
Update 4/1/09:
The winner is Dustin (post #126). If Dustin doesn’t respond to my email within 48hrs, I’ll choose another winner.
Here’s a picture of the mystery bag items:

Done! Easy peasy!
Filled out the survey and left comments! Of the many geek/gadget RSS feeds I follow this is the only one I read EVERY time.

Quick survey! Mystery bags are always fun!
this is a great place to find the newest gadgets.
Done and done. I’m in the UK but still check out the site daily.
Yup, quick survey and nothing too penetrating, so glad to help for a chance at some gadgets!
That was an easy survey. I hate those surveys that are 5-10 pages long of nothing but 30 radio button questions. MORE GADGETS!!!
Survey gives me an endless loop. After 83% it sends me back to 50%.
Your reviews are the perfect addition to read, after reading the manufacturers product information. Thank you
Oh, that was a very painless survey.
DONE
If there’s one thing I’m full of, it’s opinions. No mystery there.
Easy as pie… Although I don’t have one and am hungry… Ah well…
Love the web site! Keep up the good work! Wish I could be part of it. Glad to help with the survey.
That was really quick and simple.
Painless and nice that it did not require answering every question or filling in every comment box.
Done. Easy and fast. Hope it helps make the site even a better one! 🙂
Thanks for the chance, and glad to participate.

But it was a fun survey! ^_^
Took about 2 minutes quick and easy
nice and simple to do
I hope that the comments are helpful to you.
I tried to leave a survey, but it looped! It would go from page 7 or so to page 5, each time ;(
That was easy.
Splunge for me too, sir.
Interesting. Keep up the good work!
Stuck in a loop 🙁
yaaay
That was indeed easy. I hope it helps 🙂
Cheers,
Craig
Glad to help. Hope I win (is it rude to say that? come on, we all know we’re thinking it!) =)
Thanks for a great site, Julie!
As I wrote on the survey, thanks for producing a site that’s fun to visit. Your site gives me a chance to enjoy gadgets vicariously through your reviews!
Filled out the survey, it was soooo hard; so don’t enter…….JK…..it was short and sweet.

@Jackson Maybe 🙂

The survey throws me in an infinite loop from the page with the average income and the page with the age.
To those of you having an issue with the survey, I’ll try to find out what’s going on and have it fixed.
Filled out the survey! Fingers crossed to win a bag of mystery goodies!

You’ve never let me down Julie. Ive been following you since inception and this is the best gadget site on the web.
I filled out the survey. Keep up the great work. I love coming to this site to see all of the great reviews that you do!
Completed.
Gadooosh…..I dropped my comment
Julie, you temptress!
Yeah, fill me with all kinds of wild imaginings of the treasure of gadgets in your mystery bag… then disallow me from entering the contest and it’s only March 39th. “This survey is currently closed. Please contact the author of this survey for further assistance.” You don’t like me, I know it, nobody likes me! My psychiatrist I have a persecution complex, but he’s just saying that because HE doesn’t like me. I would have so liked to enter the contents.
Please keep reviewing the gadgets. I really like your reviews… esp. Kindle 2 and the Blackberry Storm.
Keep up the good work,
Joe
Sorry about the scads of misspellings and poor grammar. I was so overwrought with emotion from not being able to submit an entry that I really botched the entry…. and I would have given you such glowing reviews on the survey.
@Joe S. It’s back on now. The ad company accidentally took it down for a few minutes.
Got any job openings! 🙂
I love Mystery Gadgets….
Very quick survey indeed 🙂
cooool site.. am done with the survey n hardly i thought about the time for i love surveys 🙂
Hard to turn down free stuff!
I hope you will get a great amount of feedback ! And yes it just took a few minutes, but I think for developing the new version of the gadgeteer this is a cool idea- and feedback generating article !!
@Julie: I like the reviews of the Waterfield products ! ;o)
Very reasonable survey – good questions, brief.
Thanks for thinking of us.
Done. Short and sweet.
Very easy
I’m always in for international shipping of mystery bags.
Please make this kind of games more often.
Gerardo.
Squeezed it in during class. Quick and simple. Keep up the good work.
That was easy!!! Survey done…and I do love a good surprise. 🙂
Hee Hee i think scrolling to the bottom of this page to comment might take longer than the survey. Oooo i hope i win!
Done! And I hope you will publish the contents of the mystery bag the winner (pick me pick me!) will receive.
Good survey – not filled with junk.
Done
Short and to the point, just like a survey should be… Thanks!
3:15, but I’m slow. 🙂
I love a good mystery.

Leaving a comment in hopes of winning the mystery bag of gadgets.
It’s good to be the king.
I filled in the survey and would love to win your forbidden gadget bag of mystery.
Here’s hoping – keep up the reviews of tech gear.
Oops – I filled the survey, but had forgotten to leave a comment here. Here’s hoping it’s not too late – after all it’s still ~8:30AM in Indiana 🙂
I did my gadgeteer duty.
