Online communities

Hello everybody,

My name is John Cassidy and since approx 2 years now out of interest I have been doing research on Social Media and narrowed down to Online Communities.
At the moment I can extend my knowledge on online communities by writing my master theses on the topic. For this reason I have just created an online survey on the "Attractiveness of online communities - a user’s perspective"
http://ww3.unipark.de/uc/online-communities

If you are interested in the topic please fill out the survey takes about 10 minutes and your time investment is appreciated.
However, I will post the findings on my blog: http://socialmediaaddiction.wordpress.com/ and on http://socialmediaaddiction.ning.com/ so you can check the results or join the broader discussion on the topic there as well.

Thanks for your interest,
John

I hope this feature will spread the Internet soon. I guess everyone could benefit a lot from them.

First of all, thank you all for your participation in this project so far! I am hoping to convince you to add feedback on the survey in this forum or take part in it if you haven’t yet.
As promised I have combined all the results of the online survey “Attractiveness of online communities - a user’s perspective” into a word file making it easier for you to filter through the data. The file can be opened in a new window without saving it, so you don't have to take any risks downloading a file from the Internet. Please download the file from my social network http://socialmediaaddiction.ning.com/forum/topics/online-communitie...
I hope you appreciate this effort and recommend the survey to your friends, as I do rely on word-of-mouth advertising.

The link to take the survey is http://ww3.unipark.de/uc/online-communities

For feedback and suggestions for improvement on the survey please contact me at ...
