Nintendo is surveying people about how they could improve Nintendo WiFi. Albert, one of the lucky survey takers, sent us some sample questions.

I was asked whether I thought these Friend Code reforms sounded good: Exchange Friend Codes by posting them to a Nintendo-sponsored site Exchange Friend Codes directly over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Service Have a single Friend Code that works for all games

Albert said Nintendo also asked abut ways to improve their website and have it work with NiWiFi games. Some of their ideas included:

Compare your game stats to your friends' game stats
Compare your game stats to stats from players around the world
Upload screenshots Post content you create, such as art or videos for others
to download
Rate user-created content
See what your friends are playing at the moment
Manage your Friends Roster Create and/or read blogs linked to the site
Schedule dates/times to play DS games against friends or players from around
the world
Form clans/guilds/crews with friends or players from around the world
Submit videos to the site
Submit strategy, tips and tricks to a game-specific forum
Participate in user-defined forums
Personalizing the way Nintendowifi.com looks

A final question raised the possibility of more widespread free NiWiFi access:

"Suppose finding a Wi-Fi hot spot was not an issue, so you
could play your Nintendo DS over the Internet anywhere outside your home. In this case, where would you like to be able to play your Nintendo DS over the Internet?" It listed dozens of restaurants among more interesting ideas like subway stations, subway trains, airports, and (gasp!) airplanes.
