Folks,
You are not required to fill out the survey, but we hope that you will
because Adobe Systems provides a lot of the support that we need to keep
this list going. You are free to comment here on the survey, but please
make it about tech comm.
- Yes it's a legitimate poll from Adobe (I would not post something that
I was unsure of)
- Yes they use several sites and are running a number of different
events, I am sure that Grey is one of a number of agencies doing work on
behalf of Adobe.
- I do not know specifically why gender is a question, but an awful lot
of companies use gender and age as a matter of course in identifying
demographic trends from surveys.
- If you have had issues getting answers from Adobe related to technical
questions, I can suggest visiting their community forums, or posting a
legitimate technical question here. Adobe staff monitor the list and can
respond when appropriate.
Thanks
Connie Giordano
