Glitchen demographic statistics!

Hi Glitchen,

As a nerd, I have been thinking of doing this for a while now:
I would like to compile some data regarding my fellow members of the glitch world. (note: i am not in marketing, it is out of pure interest and curiosity)
I have spoken to others who have also voiced an interest and thought it would be fun to find out more.
So, what I am suggesting is collecting information such as age, gender, location and maybe some other fun things like hobbies (outside of glitch if that is even possible!) etc...

I find I am always wondering where everyone is coming from and what brought them here, this could be a cool curiosity project.
If there is interest, I will crunch some numbers and share whatever I find as updates to this post!!!

If you have any other ideas to add please let me know!
hope you are all feeling curious too

  • There are several threads in Off Topic forum that already collect this info.

    Your data, along with theirs, will suffer the same tragic flaws:  the only conclusions you can draw will be conclusions about the kind of people who are willing to publicly post this information on the internet.  You will totally miss the huge percentage of Glitchen who either don't care to participate, or who won't even know they could participate.  

    So you won't be able to draw any conclusions about "Glitchen", because you will have zero information about the vast majority of them.  You will be able to draw conclusions about people who share private info in public places.

  • lol, except that that 'sharing' is usually involuntary.
