Most of GigaOM readers know a lot about me, but I don’t know much about them. In an effort to know you better, I am rolling out a week long GigaOM Reader Survey today and will be running it for next one week. The survey will help me find suitable advertisers and well, basically help avoid annoying ads. Your help is appreciated. I am giving away one SlingBox to those who participate in the survey.
The Slingbox enables consumers to watch their living room TV programming from wherever they are by turning virtually any Internet-connected Windows-based laptop or desktop PC into a personal TV. In other words, Slingbox redirects, or “placeshifts,” your TV.
PS: To be eligible for winning the SlingBox, you would have to enter your email address in the survey. The winner would be contacted via that email address. I will send you a link and claim code to the winner so they can get the device shipped where ever they are.
PS2: Sorry folks - if you don’t want to leave your email in the survey, please drop me a note using the contact form with subject line: Survey content and if possible leave a comment. Apologies for not being clear in the first place. Excuse the oversight to eagerness to enjoy a Saturday and getting out of the apartment.

[...] Folks, after a long delay, I am proud to announce a winner for the GigaOM survey. The winner is Brendon Connelly and I have emailed him with the good news. He will soon be getting a brand new Sling Box from fine folks at Sling Media. For rest of you who did not win, you have my undying gratitude and sincere thanks. [...]

How are you going to give away a sling box if aren’t collecting people’s contact details (for those who do not want to be contacted for further research)?

if you include your email address in the survey, i will email you a link and code if you are the winner - where you can go and claim your device which will be shipped to you. I don’t want your personal information or anything of that sort! hope this answers your question.
