Some bloggers set little quizzes now and again and seem to be able to generate some interest and interaction. My attempt, I have to tell you has sunk like a brick.
A couple of days ago I set a simple little list of questions about International Airports named after famous composers. The response has been very disappointing. Only one fellow blogger bothered to submit answers so I am happy to declare the winner to be:
Donetsk, Ukraine named after Prokoviev, Liverpool after John Lennon, New Orleans after Louis Armstrong, Poznan in Poland after Wieniawski, Salzburg Austria after Mozart, Warsaw Poland after Chopin, Parma Italy after Verdi, Ostrava, Czech Republic after Janacek, Munich Germany after Strauss.
As to Elvis and Prestwick airport I think it’s rumoured that the place is the only piece of UK soil where the man set foot on but hey, some say he spent a day elsewhere.
If you haven’t read Ina’s blog drop in and pay a visit some time.
Anyway, back to quizzing. I am trying to deal with my disappointment by trying to understand the reasons why it failed to break through the stubborn interaction barrier. This are the possibilities that I have come up with:
1 It was too easy
2 It was too hard
3 My readers are not interested in quizzes
4 Some people don’t read the post but just press the like button in the reader
5 No prizes
So, I tried it and it didn’t work and it is back to the drawing board for me:
