2 Wrong link on the end of the survey

The link is not working :)

Thank you for the great job done. It would be great if you would push more to use the raw data that you make available for visual purpose to the people that are able to handle it and show some apps that can play with those data.

4 Addendum link fixed

Thanks for the catch, Alessio! I’ve fixed the link. (And when the survey and related data files land in their permanent home, I’ll probably just put the links there in the report. But for now the ALA article serves as a useful central point.)

6 Problems with your design

I have put two screenshots of how your survey front page looks on my computer. As you can see it’s not really usable.

Can you please fix?

8 Many thanks

Appreciate all the work; you guys really help this industry look like we have our act together! This is some fascinating data. Really like the website format this year, too.

9 Good Stuff

Thanks for the study. Interesting, though most of it is not surprising and fits what you would intuitively think to be the case. Would like to see some articles with analysis of some of the data points.

10 Comment about job title

First off, thanks to the ALA team for compiling and producing such a massive effort (not to mention open-sourcing the data). Speaking for myself as a ‘web professional’, this provides valuable insight for me and is much appreciated.

On the subject of insight, I had some observations about Job Title. I’m a bit surprised that the percentage of designers is not higher, but – not to be facetious at all – I wonder how many people may have selected ‘Other’ because they have an unusual title, like Web Ninja, or if the title was irrelevant to the their multi-disciplinary responsibilities. I get the feeling that this one statistic may not be meaningful enough. As food for thought, could this question be renamed as Job/Role and respondents could allocate percentage to different roles? I ask this because I know many professionals who are multi-disciplinary and it could better convey how much time they spend on each of their competencies rather than under which competency they are classified.
