1. Why did you join Toluna?

• I was surfing the web after checking email and responding to friends on Facebook and saw a link to Toluna, after clicking on the link and reading a bit about what the site was all about I decided to give it a try. Being that I worked as a mall survey taker as a young man in high school I remembered how much fun it was to be apart of bettering the products, people and myself buy and use everyday and how it was a great opportunity to meet different people from different walks of life and to make some extra cash. not to mention before finding Toluna, I was used to giving my opinions on everything to people for free everyday.

2. How did you first hear about us?

• I saw a link ad on my Facebook, I clicked it not knowing that it would be "one link, to change my life" 

3. What do you think about the Gifties program?

• Honestly, I thought it was a bit inane at first...I found myself asking the question "why would I spend hard earned points from doing surveys, on something virtual" but being experienced in playing the odds in everything from slots to life's choices, I figured it would be worth a shot. After looking over the many different options available I chose two that Gifties that I was going to try for, being a Independent film maker/Photographer I decided that new computers for editing(apple pack) and new cameras(DSLR Canon camera) for production would be a blessing for my projects. But which one to try first? 
  
  After weighing the options I decided that having new, powerful and up to date computers would be first and foremost, so I purchased the giftie for 500 points. Thats when I noticed the "Make it real" button and I instantly thought "Yeah....Right, all that new and powerful technology that I so greatly needed can become real..." Then I clicked the button, it turned green... And nothing was ever the same.   

4. What was your reaction when you found out that you were a winner?

• If I had to choose three descriptives to my feelings at that time? Total disbelief, utter shock and complete excitement. Once I got the confirmation email I sat at my computer and stared at it for about an hour just reading it over and over again. When talk began of paper work and shipping addresses, I knew that this was no joke...A wish was coming true.

5. How do you feel about your overall Gifties experience? (Was the Toluna staff helpful and responsive, were your items ordered/delivered timely?)

• Yes, and YES! I could not believe how streamlined and smooth the process was, in a world of delayed delivery the Toluna team raises excellent logistics to a new level...

6. How are you enjoying your Apple products?

• In one word? Immensely! The power of this new laptop is nothing short of breathtaking and I am in the process of getting all my Photo/Video editing software installed on the new macbook PRO and my photos saved onto the new hard drive, the Ipad is indispensable because now I can show my potential clients my photos on the beautiful retina display instead of my tiny phone screen and also keep up to date with emails for potential jobs or current productions on the go, I have given my Girlfriends Daughter the Ipod Touch so she can play her games and keep in touch with family without stealing her moms phone for hours at a time. The Iphone is nothing short of amazing.

7. Do you think you will participate in the Gifties program again?

• Oh yes! I already have, and now I have more ways to take part in your surveys with the Toluna App on my Ipad

8. How likely are you to refer Toluna and/or Gifties to a friend/family?

• I already have, and will continue to. It's hard not to share such an amazing experience with the ones you love the most.
