Study about how bloggers express political opinion
Via the tarheelbloggers listserv I received the following email about a study of how blog authors express political opinion. You may or may not be interested in participating in this study but I am passing the information along. I plan to participate but the site has timed out on me a few times this morning. I will try later.
EMail follows:
As part of an ongoing research project into the computerized organization and retrieval of information from weblogs (blogs), you are invited to take part in a study of how blog authors express political opinion.
If you are interested in how self-publication and weblogging are altering political discourse, or if you are interested in cutting-edge information retrieval technologies, please help in this endeavor by answering a few simple questions.
The study is entirely web-based, and will take approximately fifteen to twenty minutes of your time. It requires no special knowledge or expertise, just your own interest.
The questionnaire is online at:
http://idl.ils.unc.edu/~efrom/blogs/experiment/consent.html
Although participation is voluntary and un-paid, any interested participants will be welcome to a copy of the survey results.
Please feel free to re-distribute this invitation to any appropriate forum, or to contact me with questions or comments.
Thanks so much,
-Miles Efron

while this post may be well over a week old, I could not resist sharing it with my blog’s readers, including using your entire post as reference - with the usual credits of course.
appreciate the heads up about this interesting research study.
