As I was hunting down a code on Swagbucks' Blog, I found this article (in addition to the code for 6 SB-yay!) by Amplicate, an opinion based company that tracks online media trends. They found that social media users love Swagbucks by an overwhelming majority. "Swagbucks was the most loved deal website on social media over the 12 months. Fans of Swagbucks had almost nothing negative to say about the online loyalty program, with 99% of comments expressing love for the rewards site." The most talked about and hated website was Groupon, as skepticism grows about its business model. Interesting stuff~for more, click the link:

Swagbucks is great! I only have one complaint and that is thier surveys. You take one and go a good lenght on it, for it to say your disqualified, or they are overquota. Then they cap it off with saying that information will be deleted. Why do they wait till your nearly done and have given all that information before they say that? It's really been bad since they changed it where you actually have to do a survey to make any Swagbucks. Use to be you got one for just visiting.

I got lucky early in the month with 3 back-to-back surveys, but I rarely do them. Plus I see a lot of negative feedback on Facebook, with people not getting credited. Yeah, I miss that 1 SB/day too. Nice seeing you Dee, & thanx for stopping by!

I had a little luck with surveys before they made the change. Now it seems you go a great lenght only to be told you don't qualify. Sure you can still make one Swagbuck for each (most of the time if you get the credit) but I really don't care to spend that much time on them. Always good seeing you too August Lady! :)

I haven't heard much about Groupon except that Ellen DeGeneres seems to be promoting them a lot lately. I have no interest in it. I've heard a lot of good about Swagbucks thugh.

I was getting Groupon's emails for awhile (thru SB, I think), but none of the deals they offered interested me one bit.

I do know several people who use Groupon almost religiously — interestingly enough, not people I would consider active social media users. Maybe Groupon is more popular with people who aren't active on social media than with people who are? Or maybe I just know a bunch of exceptions. ;)
