who is 'us' ?

It looks like this link leads to a google spreadsheet of some kind.

But the spreadsheet doesn't say who 'us' is, unless I'm overlooking something obvious. The cityskout LJ account was created today.

Ah. I didn't get as far as opening the spreadsheet itself.

Not particularly, no. I hear about it too much, and I don't think I've seen anything interesting. It's basically a way of getting people to advertise to their friends and acquaintances, as far as I can tell.

Sorry, 20 min of my time on the phone is worth more than $5. I usually get Amazon credit for $25-$50 for phone surveys of that length

Yeah, I was wondering that myself. A $5 groupon coupon is pretty meager compensation for a 20-minute survey, too, so I have to assume this person is not at all affiliated with groupon itself, which I feel confident would offer something much better.

Hello folks,

We are a couple of young entrepreneurs across the border in Cambridge, MA. Suffice to say, we don't quite have the survey budget of Amazon ;)

But if you'd like to help out a local company and you think Groupon has some pretty sweet deals (we sure do!), then we'd love to hear from you at http://bit.ly/love2gpon.

thanks!

Although there's no real rule against it, posting a url-shortened link without saying where it leads and why you url-shortened it can make a lot of people think "spam". In this case, I see from other comments that you're linking to a Google spreadsheet, so it probably has a long URL, but you could easily use an HTML anchor tag to make the link text short and non-ugly.

I suspect you'll be more likely to get useful responses from a lot more people if you edit your post to reflect exactly who you are and why you want this information.
