Getting To Know My Readers

Most experts will agree that blogging is all about communication. So today I thought I'd take the time to get to know my readers. So here are some questions:

1. The basics: name, age, job, location.

2. What kind of blogs do you like to read?

3. What kind of blogs do you NOT like to read?

4. What do you enjoy most about this blog?

5. What do you enjoy LEAST about this blog?

6. What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Thanks!

  2. 1. The basics: name, age, job, location.
    --Al, 54, Christian missionary, Victoria, BC
    2. What kind of blogs do you like to read?
    --emerging, post-church, missional, a couple post-Christian, humor
    3. What kind of blogs do you NOT like to read?
    --I'm not into stuff that is too over-confident or too deep.
    4. What do you enjoy most about this blog?
    --as a young guy, you give me a perspective I need to help understand your generation. I appreciate your personal transparency and willingness to talk about your life experience.
    5. What do you enjoy LEAST about this blog?
    --although I recognize that I need to understand (or at least be familiar with) the music people listen to, I must admit I really have no knowledge of the bands/music you talk about.
    6. What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
    --My research tells me that "the average cruising airspeed velocity of an unladen European Swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles an hour." I am unable to ascertain any similar knowledge regarding the African swallow.
