BeerTownAustin’s Best Stuff of 2009 Results!!!!
The results are in. There were a total of 78 respondents (not bad for our first try at something like this) over five days.
So I took a Research Methods class… I just forgot to test the survey before publishing it. Dr. Peirce would be disappointed. Based on the results I realize that the term “regional” wasn’t clear enough. Originally it was within the context of local, regional, national, international. But for a free membership on Survey Monkey you are only allowed 10 question surveys so when I eliminated the national and international categories, it made “regional” a relative term.
So I’m sorry if it was confusing.
Blah blah blah. Here are the results. Top two of each category are listed.
