Fueled by your energy...

Sorry, but I can't resist this. Some excerpts from Hey! Nielsen's "about us" section. An illustration of "personal dependency" and the merging of labor with daily life?

"Hey! Nielsen is more than just a new idea in opinions and social networking: it's a way for you to influence the TV and movies you watch, the music you listen to, and more... all while making a name for yourself. That's right, Hey! Nielsen isn't really "about us," it's about you. You're the reason The Nielsen Company built this site and will continue to tweak and polish it based on your input.

So, What's In It For Me?

"We know you love TV, movies, music, the web, and the personalities behind it all, just a little too much. So here's your chance to let your voice be heard, your face been seen, and your opinions be a force for change. You, plus the exclusive access and power of Nielsen means that your opinions not only reach millions of people via the web, but may also reach the media moguls who decide what goes on the air and on the web. The more heat your postings generate, the greater the chance your opinions will land on the most influential inboxes in the biz as we will be inviting select Hey! Nielsen members to take part in sneak previews and other invite-only events. Plus, the more connections you make to other users, the more interesting and useful recommendations you'll pick up on all sorts of entertainment. You'll be thanking us in no time.

"Participation in Hey! Nielsen requires little more than a strong opinion and a valid email address to get going. Hey! Nielsen runs on your enthusiasm and energy (which we like because we're very much into the "green" thing here). If you watch TV, watch movies, listen to music, surf the web, and follow personalities and trends, then we're sure you have an opinion. Want to see your opinions make it to the front page and influence others? Then get posting."
