2. BZ Media Research methodology An e-mail was sent out to 19,500 randomly selected SD Times subscribers inviting them to participate in a study. Excluding bounces, the net number of surveys delivered was 19,246. The purpose was to ascertain their plans to use Eclipse-based technology and Eclipse plug-ins. The study was sent on November 9, 2006, and cut off and tabulated by BZ Research on November 20, 2006. 769 subscribers, or 4.0% of the respondents, completed the survey, although not all of them answered every question. BZ Research designed, conducted and tabulated the study.
