A friend of mine has a stamp-collecting blog (with well-written articles, in my opinion). This year, he's conducting his 2nd annual Stamp Collecting Survey, asking people to rank their top-10 collecting countries and top-10 collecting topics. It's very informal, but he will write up the results, like he did last year. The survey doesn't require registering or supplying any personal information (other than your collecting interests!).
If you'd like to participate, here's the link:

Please let me know if you have any questions.
