...and by clicking on it you could win "the latest iPod Touch" (whatever that might be). From my Inbox:

"All Europeana’s features are fully functioning now and we would like to know what you think about the site. We’re currently running a survey in all 27 EU languages. Your feedback is important for the future development of Europeana, so let us know what you want.
Thanks,
The Europeana Team"

Remember, darlings - there's always eBay, should you happen to win. ;o)
