WSO Userbase Demographic Preview

Put up a short poll on a surveymonkey last week to try to get a better idea of where WSO users are concentrated in the US and the world. Think Andy might run an official poll on this in the coming weeks, but thought I'd share the small sample of answers I got. Was interesting to see 38.1% of the sample came from outside the main US and world finance hubs I had listed.

Total responses: 42

Boston 2.4% 1

Not bad? Seems to me like the student has become the teacher...
