Ugh.

Denver's NBC affiliate, 9 News, has an amazing ability to add innovations to their website that manage to annoy much more than they inform (kind of like their morning show). The latest example of misunderstanding how to translate offline promotional methods to online is this totally awesome page that popped up after I clicked through a story on their homepage...

I'm sorry, but if you are going to run a survey like this on your website, here's some suggestions:

• Ask one or two questions max...anything more is intrusive
• Remember that you are interrupting a process that is not normally interrupted, act accordingly
• Ask yourself if the information you are looking for is worth the inevitable drop-off of users from your site
• ALWAYS PROVIDE A WAY TO SKIP THE SURVEY - THIS IS A NO BRAINER

So there you go 9News...remember that the web isn't TV. You can't force us to do anything we don't want to do...and if you try we know where else we can go to get the exact same news stories.

And if you're taking suggestions, take the STUPID rollover functionality off of the NIMBUS weather thing on the top of your homepage, Make it clickable like everything else on your site...if I open that thing on accident one more time I'm going to come down there and egg your building.

Yeah, egging is how I roll.
