InstaSurvey 7002 (Newly Added Subscriber Files) RESULTS

http://blogs.msdn.com/msdnsubscriptions/archive/2008/09/25/it-is-time-for-another-survey-instasurvey-7002-newly-added.aspx

 THANKS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK - HERE ARE THE RESULTS:

For those of you that responded during the comment period, thank you for your feedback. Here is a summary of the feedback:

Like/Dislike Stats:

  • Like 11
  • Dislike 1

Comments/Suggestions, and [and any Microsoft comments]:

  • Update the RSS more often [New fully programmatic RSS feeds are expected to go live later in November - taking away all latency]
  • Wants 30 days rather than 60 days duration [this would likely come with additional personalization beyond v1.0, but we hear you!]
  • Wants to be able to select his own period for “new” - this month, last month, this week, last week or even a specific date [this would likely come with additional personalization beyond v1.0, but we hear you!]
  • I love it!  I don’t know why this wasn't’t in the new design from the start.  Everyone wants to know, at-a-glance, what is new since whatever date.
  • All aspects of the design make sense to me.  I can’t wait for the implementation!
  • I like it, but it’s not really what I would expect. I would expect just the newly added content to appear. The mock-ups appear to support calling it “products with new content”. [We are looking at some options to address this general criticism.]
  • You get a list of Categories that have changed, but it’s still not a good way to show what items are new (and only what’s new)
  • I would rather see the actual files that have been added, not the categories where there are new files
  • I like the site and appreciate being given the opportunity to influence the features and design. Keep up the good work!

Other Suggestions for the Subscriptions Sites:

  • Ability to select multiple files for download as was possible before.
  • Ability to easily print to file / electronically store all the information on a download page.
  • In the list of product families on the left, it is not currently possible to use the middle mouse button to open the product family in a new tab... that would really help. It used to be possible.

Update the RSS more often [New fully programmatic RSS feeds are expected to go live later in November - taking away all latency]  - Good! It's now more than 3 weeks old. Can someone please update it at least once  a week. It's weeks (if not a month) out of date!
