Public perception is really important to . . . us. Us, as in, all of us. I tend to think that we are all really concerned about what others think of us. Well, blogs and podcasts are no different. Some of us at RF have constructed a little survey for you to try to get a feel for how the readers of the bloggernacle and listeners of the blabbernacle perceive the messages and perhaps tone of various blogs and podcasts relative to the church (that institution that gives all the blogs common ground whether we like it or not).
So hey, take minute or two and rate yourself, then the blogs that you read, and then the podcasts you listen to. (I know we probably didn’t list your favorite one or at least one that you think should be considered but you don’t want to be here all day do you?) We have our guesses on how this is going to shake out but lets get a bunch of data and see what it tells us. Spread the news far and wide friends, tell the people that there is a survey just for YOU.
Here is the link for the google form if you’d like to share the survey directly.
I'd suggest adding an n/a option for the ranking portion. If I've never read a particular blog it's hard to rank it's faithfulness.
Anna Tibbitts,
You can ignore that part and skip to the next section/blog.
Does not really allow for blogs, such as Wheat & Tares, that have a wide variety of orientations, to be properly rated. W&T has posts from 1 to X on the spectrum — so that it provides a variety of positions inside the blog (though it is generally friendly to the Church).
The survey is not so much about the content that is actually posted. it’s more about the way people perceive the blogs.
Stephen R. Marsh,
Same problem here at RF. Group blogs with an eclectic bunch of authors are inherently hard to define.
