POLL: Yet Another Useless Social Network + Pints

Friday, March 21, 2008 - 02:17 PM

Now I've been told I need to be on Twitter. The half-life of my interest and participation in these social networks seems to be about 3 months, but Twitter is simple enough and there don't seem to be any zombies or ninjas so far, which is unusual for the internet.

The first batch of pint glasses are already sold out, I've placed an order for the second batch and those should be out in the mail by mid-April. I'll endeavor to keep them in stock going forward.

Point of interest (to me, anyway): According to this poll, I would have needed a minimum of 1,150 pint glasses to satisfy the demands of all the poll respondents, but a run of only 72 met most of the immediate demand; I am guessing a run of 144 would have taken care of the initial sales plus the long tail of the next couple of weeks.

Since demand was only about a tenth of that indicated by the poll, that means I can easily assume that approx. 90% of my readers are liars. It's a useful statistic to have, now I can adjust initial orders accordingly.

POLL: What should be the next new product?
 
41% (296) Litany of Beer Pint Glasses
 
38% (277) Fish Pint Glasses
 
5% (41) Pub Stub T-Shirts
 
14% (106) Pub Stub Flasks
