in it for the hamiltons

Nielsen called me yesterday and said that they would pay me $10 if I did this survey about my web usage. As I said in my preceding post, I'm going out of town tomorrow. Can someone take care of this for me either today or while I am gone? E-mail me if you do. I know this should give me bad survey karma especially since there is a survey in which I'm heavily invested in the field right now, but the karma-accountants draw a distinction between academic and for-profit survey research.

I just got a call from NNRSURVEY.com and they asked me to fill in the survey online, it would take about forty minutes and they would pay me FIVE dollars. Why did this guy get TEN? Is his opinion worth twice mine or is my opinion only worth half his?
