I got a phone call re: political websites.

Yesterday I received a phone around 5:00pm. The caller said he was from ProMark and they were taking a survey and
would I answer some questions. I verified who he was with and then said yes.

First Question - Year of Birth

Second Question - Likely to vote in next Presidential election - Highly unlikely, likely, probably, highly probable

Third Question - Did I spend time online blogging on political websites.

I answered YES to the third question.

He said thank you and hung up. He did not say goodbye.

Shortest phone survey I have ever experienced.

Any idea who this was for or what it was about?

1. That's just a qualifying question

Meaning they couldn't speak to a blogger, or maybe they'd already filled their quota for that category. (I used to work for a telephone market research firm.)

Though he should've had a polite "Thank you anyway" script to read from, instead of just hanging up.

2. I thought maybe they were trying to figure out ad placement.

But it was quickly over.

Thanks for your response.
