Telephone polls are useful after all ...

Some attention whoring:

A few days ago, some guy from the Austrian affiliate of GfK (http://www.gfk.com/at) called me and asked me a few questions about media consumption habits.

In the end, he said that he could send me a link with an online-poll that takes about 30 minutes to complete (for their in-depth analysis).

I accepted, because I'll get a 10€ Amazon coupon.

They sent it today and after filling it out, they sent me the coupon.

(Even I don't really like Amazon, because of their troubles with "slave-work" in Germany recently, it's better than nothing I guess.)

I'll buy the annual yearbook/world almanach called Fischer Weltalmanach with it, when it comes out in September, for 10 instead of 20€:

Are you paid to do advertizing for Fischer? One could come to that conclusion

Are there polls on whether Austrians would support a return to the glory days?

No & No.

(There's nothing wrong though with highlighting a good old yearbook that's been around for over 50 years now).

Just curious. How are the Hapsburg days viewed in Austria?

It's a non-issue these days.

Many young people don't even know what's meant with it ...
