If you'vebuilt a web service in the past, or plan on building one in the future, we want to hear from you on this question. A quick 3 minute survey should tell us your thoughts on the matter, and since filling out surveys suck, you'll be automatically entered to win a $30 iTunes gift certificate (hey, its not much but what do you expect for 3 min of your time?)

The online survey is here.
