Mike,
Writing in regards to my startup (www.bestvendor.com). We're a 3 month old startup in New York. Our vision is to create a platform where startups and tech companies can quickly research or discover products to use in their business.
One thing I'd love to do is to survey ~100-200 people from Hacker News so we could aggregate the data in an interesting way ("what do hackers use in their business?", etc), create some buzz while were in product development mode and provide the users on here a quick snapshot of useful tools and hacks.
My best idea right now is to create a survey and put it up on Ask HN. I would love your thoughts on a strategy to get it answered in mass as I have never done it before.

- mikegreenberg 15y agoThere's no right/best way to do this. Find some way to give reader/participants some incentive for completing it. You could consider releasing the data publicly, making it into an interactive application that is unique and interesting to progress through, or even just guerrilla-marketing it (send a survey many times and modifying it each time to attract a different group). I have to say that market research is not my strong point, but if you can find a way to make it really interesting in some way you can easily hit your 100-200 data points. You might also consider attending some meetups and asking to participate in them in return for asking the participants to take your survey. Not all will, but you could possibly get good bang for your buck that way.
