Before taking a few weeks off for the summer, we asked users to fill out a survey to get some feedback and hopefully improve the Tuesday Push as a result. Thank you to everyone for answering the questions in the survey and providing comments and suggestions at the end.

A large portion of those taking part in the Tuesday Push, over 60% spent up to 3 hours looking over the service to be pushed and writing about it. Most users, over 90% learned about each Tuesday Push from Twitter, followed by the Blog or RSS feed. We’ll keep the @tuesdaypush twitter account alive then.

Now that Tuesday Push is back, the most significant change is that Pushes are now monthly instead of fortnightly as before. This idea was floating around for a while and it was reinforced by a number of similar comments in the survey. You might also notice we have a new domain of push.ie replacing tuesdaypush.com. Theres a new theme for the blog on the way too so watch out for that.

This monthly approach will provide us with the time to sort out the calendar of those to be pushed several months in advance and gives bloggers plenty of time to find out who is to be pushed, check out their service and write about it each month.

Over 60% wanted to know much more about a product or service before pushing it. For those that are Pushed in the future some more information will be asked of you. Who are your target customers, what is your revenue model? What benefit did your product or service get from receiving a Push?

If you are getting your product or service pushed, make sure it is something that is accessible to the public so users can access all areas. If your service requires users to create an account, perhaps have a dummy account pre-made to save people the time of creating yet another account and going through the steps of email verification.

This is your opportunity to show off your application to people who will use your application and write about it, so include all the detail you can when describing your application.
