Dear ForumGarden members,

Considering your interests in topics about daily lifes, the University of Colorado Denver invites you to participate in a study of local information search experience.

Looking for local information on the Web can be time-consuming and frustrating. Our goal is to identify the best blend of information source that meets your needs so better systems can be designed. Your opinion is most valuable in helping us achieve this goal.

Your participation is voluntary and all information is confidential.

The survey takes 5-10 minutes to complete. If you are 18 or older, living in the United States, and have ever searched for local information on the Web, please participate in this survey by visiting: http://ouray.cudenver.edu/~lhsu/infoseek/

Your participation is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

P.S. This research is University of Colorado Denver HSRC Protocol #: 09-0670.

This research is being conducted under the supervision of my dissertation advisor, Dr. Zhiping Walter (Zhiping Walter :: University of Colorado Denver Business School).

Out of interest Liling, how many responses do you think you'll need in order to generate significant results?

Do you intend to publish your conclusions on the web? It would be interesting to see, if you link this thread to any eventual results.

Spot,

To have a significant result, there needs to be at least over 100 responses.

I would love to share the result with you and anyone who is interested. But I am not sure how this paper will end up with. I will keep you updated.

Myself and several mods used the link and answered the questions'

There were no ads and it never asked any personal details, that made a refreshing change! :wah:

They may need a new category of super-confident dolt to fit my results into the picture.

:yh_rotfl That right there is funny..

Probably the real study is on getting favorable participation from strangers though use of manners online.



She/he asked, rather then just slap it up here. :-6



I immediately went out and took the survey. I normally just ignore stuff like this.

So can you tell us how many folks have taken the survey already or is it too new?

I took the survey Liling.



Thank you and welcome to our garden:-6

Thank you, Kathy and other ForumGarden members, for participation.

flopstock,

We have 95 responses so far. I hope I can have 150 ~200 people to participate. The more, the better, of course.
