NYCPHP Meetup

[Will Ashley]

Hi John -

Just took the survey, it's well-composed and pretty comprehensive, but I
have to say I agree with Fernando, I'm aware it may be too late to alter the
survey but I think item on search engines one uses to find information on
APIs. Whereas I might find information about an API on a blog, etc. - if I
was *looking* for information on an API that could do x thing - I would
definitely be using a search engine.

Best,
Will
