Surveys are so 90s
I get a survey from Oracle about my perspectives from Oracle OpenWorld last month.
And it is titled "Questionnaire for attending journalists." Oracle does not seem to want to recognize the new category of bloggers. Or that our blogs already have feedback on our experiences before, during and after the event - here's mine, Brian's and several EIs have them on their own blogs.
Forget surveys. All I would like to request is next time Oracle invites bloggers I hope the experience is like this,
Vinnie, this is a little unfair - because you received a canned survey (as the vestige of some business process), that means Oracle doesn't want to "recognize" the blogger category?
This was the first "blogger credential" outing. It will get better.

Justin, I don't want us to get petty again...but you are one of the biggest sw companies in the world not some manufacturing company. To change the registration and feedback process to reflect another thread for bloggers could not have been a major activity. I know you don't like comparisons with SAP but the process we went through for this weeks event was flawless and customized to each blogger, analyst, media person etc.
I did try to fill your survey then it occurred to me did your PR folks bother to read the description of issues well documented on Jakes' and my blog. Why repeat that?
