As I ease into the wide world of blogging after long service in the gray world of print, I wish I knew a bit more about what specific kinds of information people really want most.

So far, my marketing efforts have consisted of quizzing random strangers I encounter on the public bus system. This has produced some lively results, but nothing very useful so far.

So here’s a quick quiz:

1. When you go to a live performance, which are you most likely to attend? (a) local nightclub; (b) local live theater; (c) your kids’ soccer game; (d) other (please specify.)

2. Which do you trust most? (a) The Economist; (b) Fox News; (c) Randy Johnson; (d) other (please specify.)

3. Which kind of book are you most likely to buy? (a) hardback; (b) paperback; (c) coffee table book.

4: Do you even own a coffee table? (a) yes; (b) no; (c) don’t know (please explain.)

5. Which kind of entertainment do you enjoy most? (a) TV; (b) movies; (c) live shows in the city; (d) live local.

6: Do you really care what happens to celebrities? (a) yes; (b) no; (c) only if they’re cute.
