Here's an opportunity to make some decent money from blogs - you do not have write a blog on Blogger, just test the new upcoming features of Blogger and provide your feed to Google.Google is willing you to pay upto $100 per hour for this job. You can work from anywhere in the world, but need to have a computer and a good internet connection.
A Google researcher will call you while you sit at your computer, and ask you to try out a Google product or prototype via your internet connection, and give feedback on it.
Google routinely invites people to test Google Software (on paid basis) and they have conducted Blogger Usability Study earlier but that was confined to residents of New York City and San Francisco Bay Area.

Amit,
You wont believe Google could fall so low but yes they came out with a similar study a few months back, although not for blogger. The news was posted in fatwallet.com leading a NUMBER of folks to give all sorts of detailed personal info to Google in exchange for 75$ an hour or something and oh well no one received anything. I wouldnt trust Google a bit and have been taking everything off Google but for Gmail. I love Yahoo search and yahoo maps is pretty good too.

second anon - just to clarify - the code or number you see in the link is not any kind of Google Referral - it just indicates that the application is related to Blogger Testing.
Google uses the same form for all their products.

It's not about the $75 bucks what makes me excited, but how Google treat Blogger.com better than ever.

For those folks, who expect every one who signed up to be called, you must be kidding me. They might interview a specific number of people (3 digits) across the globe. If you are paranoid about your personal details, just don't give them. I tell you what, your personal info is already out there, its just that you don't know it.

There will be a panel, which choose among different persona which is related to their projects.
So its not that everybody will get opportunity to earn money through testing. Its an evaluation of their products. Its an information from DI - interested candidate can go ahead and fill the form.

What a creative way for Google to do a marketing survey. Most of that was just a marketing survey. Brilliant. Give that MBA a raise.

@Amit, I serioously believe that is a ref. link, since I can get to that page without putting referral_code=CSPGENBLG5212007 in the URL. So Your link could have been https://services.google.com/inquiry/user_study
Any thoughts?
