I switched to a plus account, to try it out. I had three choices, ads at the top and bottom of the page, ads on the sidebar, or ads in between posts... All of the ads were too bright, but for some reason ads between posts are all text. So I'm sticking with them...

Poll #1187241 Plus account ads
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 2

Are the text ads every six posts or so disruptive?

There's nothing else much to talk about yet, I'll post again after rehearsal tonight maybe. For now, the reason I like the shell question: It's deliberately ambiguous... You can, I think, find a lot out about the person by what they answer. (My answer is bash, for the record)

Participants can't know the results beforehand though, so that the answers aren't tainted by answers from other people. (I should have waited and used a poll for it, basically) For example, if two people answer, one who knows the surveyor well (Bob) and one who doesn't, (Jill) the latter might follow Bob's lead, operating under the assumption that he knows better what the survey is actually about...
