Web Perspectives – Survey Site Review (Feb 2011)

Name: Web Perspectives

Link: http://www.webperspectives.ca/

Who Is Eligible To Participate: Canadian Residence Only

Type of Award Or Payment: Points / Sweepstakes/ E- Gift Cards + Many Many more prize/reward options

Points or Cash Normally Earned Per Survey: 100 – 500 Points

(You need 1,000 points to claim a $10 value prize or reward)

Sign-Up Time: Pretty Long

How Many Survey Invitations Should You Expect Per Week: 1 – 35

How Long Does It Take To Collect A Reward Or Cash Out: Often less then 1 month for $10 CAD

Do They Spam You: No

The Number of Survey I Have Received Over The Past 9 Years Since Joining Up: Lost count

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 – This survey site keeps on improving in leaps and bounds. I now get roughly 1 – 35 surveys invites a week and with thous 1 – 35 surveys invites. I generally will make the needed 1,000 points. So I can redeem it for a Chapters/Indigo  e- gift cards. The main reason I choose that prize/reward is because I don’t have to wait long. In fact you will generally get the e- gift card serial number with in something like  5 – 30  minutes max.

———————-

Some Extra Important Site Information: I have noticed it is now taking way over a month from the time you do the survey to get credited with your points (Meaning usable to cash out or claim prize. But you will notice on your balance sheet the credit is there normally right after you have completed your survey) Which is almost double the time it use to take. Less then even a year back.

New Mozilla FireFox 4.0 Beta 12 Is Now Available To Download

Dear Readers,

It appears that Mozilla FireFox has a new 4.0 Beta 12 version available to download in a ton of different languages to suit you taste and background.

** I personally have not downloaded this new beta version as of yet. But a few of our members plan too.

So I can’t say I would recommend it because it is still in the Beta stage. But if you do give it a whirl by all means let us know what you think and I’ll post it..

Here is the link to the FireFox 4.0 Beta 12 download: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html

EPD 30: Fan Mail Friday’s (02/25/2011)

Dear Remy,

I have been wondering for sometime now. What do you guys do with all the reported scam mails we send to you guys ?

David Phising

—————————-

Reply: Well, David Phising we first verify then all as being not legit (Scams/Phising attacks) Then we put them in a que. We get up to several 100 a day. So it can take time to go through them all. (We have lately been getting been getting mostly Hotmail scam mails, but we also get a lot of Paypal scam mails.)

After we verify them as not being legit. We then up to 4 times a months. We post around 20 or so of the submitted scam/phishing e-mails to our list database. So it can be easily searched via Goggle or even via (CSW)
