Posted October 20th @ 6:14 pm by humancensus

Long overdue, I finally added the “Share This” plugin to this blog, so that if/when you want to share any of the questions or blog posts with someone, you can do so easily.
There are two ways:
1. Share the link on Social Networking sites:

Hey kids!
You know what? Human Census has been kind of in a blah zone for several weeks– kind of been in a rut from my end as far as coming up with new questions and interesting things to add value to your experience here.
So, help me out.

What are some […]

Hey kids, this week I’ll be on vacation, and I think I’m actually (gasp!) not taking the laptop with me. By the way, I’m not going anwhere exotic like this photo indicates, but that would be awesome.
But don’t worry– I’ve already written and scheduled this week’s five questions, and […]

Hey, so a “half amusing, half full of chagrin” project update… (ahem):
Apparently the bring-a-friend-to-human-census thing was a flop. (I mean on my end as a marketer-schemer).

Whoever refers the most […]

Posted July 30th @ 12:44 am by humancensus

Since we’re skipping weekends now, should we call Friday’s question “Day 34″ and Monday’s “Day 35?” Or, should we call Friday “Day 34″ and Monday “Day 37″?
***
By the way, this is not really today’s question… I’ll post the “real question” later. But I am curious what you think we should do about this little […]

It’s The Weekend…

Posted July 27th @ 10:21 pm by humancensus

….So we won’t have any questions on Saturdays and Sundays– I’m shifting Human Census over to a “Monday through Friday” kind of thing.
But just to close off the week, I’ll post silly pictures on Friday afternoons, which will hopefully tide you over until we’re back on Monday.
Feel free to comment on the photo, but other […]

I organized the project so that it wouldn’t require large blocks of time… However, there’s still a lot to keep track of!Here are some of the basic daily & weekly tasks:
Report on the previous question (20 minutes/day, 10 hours total)

Close comments.

Note the question, site visits, # of responses, and any […]
