- SkyMarshal 15y agoYES, thank you! I was just going to rant about tabloid titles like this on HN FFS people, stop it. Just title your submission exactly what it is about, stop using the language of supermarket checkout line tabloids to try to pique people's interest. If that's the actual article title, don't copy and paste it, but make a better one. An even more concise example for this one: "Google Consumer Surveys: survey your target market before launching" In other news, ironic how the article's header picture is a supermarket.
- chmike 15y agoAgree. The question I ask myself is what truth do we get from such survey ? It depends on the people who are responding to the survey. This is just probing. What about product user feedback and product optimization based on the feedback ? As Ford said, if he asked people what they wanted, the answer would have been faster horses. So the question asked is of course important, and as much as the surveyed people. This may work only for particular ideas. And finaly only the execution will make the difference.
- zacharycohn 15y agoPeople often miss the point of that quote. If he had asked people what they wanted, they'd have said "faster horses." What they REALLY were saying was "I want to get places faster."
