This is a general social survey of the greater weblog community being conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Our goal is to help understand the way that weblogs are affecting the way we communicate with each other. Specifically we are interested in issues of demographics, communication behaviors, experience with weblogs and other technology, and the meaning of various types of social links within the blogosphere.
The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete, and we are asking anyone with a weblog to participate. The larger the sample of individuals we can get, the better our picture of the community will be.
MIT Media Lab stuff is always interesting, even if I don't always see things from the same perspective as they do. One helpful tip: you may need to have your buddy list open to complete. So if that's not work-safe for you, don't do it at work.
Have you ever had to think about how people got on your buddy list? I hadn't. I feel that I should have more family members on my buddy list...I also wanted to put in a disclaimer that meeting people last week at the OCLC bloggers soiree shouldn't really count or at least not that way...
