Nice find man, thanks for sharing it with us.

http://ingatherresearch.com/ Also follow updates on their twitter…this past week I tried out for their “pizza” taste test but I didn’t qualify for the focus group. Apparently I must be too old for frozen pizza or something. There’s a quick survey monkey form to see if you meet their focus group standards for each individual tasting session. Sounds like they pay around $50 a session.

I’ve always thought I’d be good at secret shopping. And, an undercover cop for that matter. I’m pretty good at adapting to situations, but even more so no one would ever suspect a dude with a mohawk! haha…

Hey a smile and a wave can do wonders sometimes!

Another source for finding focus group facilities is Quirks.com (founded by one Mr. Quirks!).

haha… guess you can never go wrong with waving, eh? :)

I think I’d love that nerdier – usability – stuff a lot more than tasting food, haha…

Hah! Good way to think about it actually, Christine.

YES!! I did some of those “acting” gigs too while in Korea myself! They needed all kinds of Americans for their commercials and probably paid us peanuts compared to hiring them the “right” way, haha… they’d literally approach me or my siblings on the street and then half the time my parents would shoo them away cuz you could never tell if they were shady or not. And once a friend of ours got kidnapped and that halted everything! (She was returned safely and all, but still – gotta watch out for those creepers!)
