New Member?

Are you a new member?
We are planning a proper section for newcomers. But here are a few key points:

1) Your page can be styled in lots of ways, look at others and see what they have done.

2) Get rid of your grey head. If you don't want to show your picture, pick a avatar, some clip art or a radom picture to mark your space.

3) On your page there is a place where you can blog. All new posts also appear on the Main page of the network.

4) There are loads of discussions in the forums, feel free to join in.

5) We have some interest groups, for example Ethnography and Lime Surveys, check them out, join them if you find them interesting.

6) The bigger the network, the more useful it is, so please invite you friends, use the invite tab to make this easier.

Why Communities are more powerful than Panels

During a meeting with an Ethnographer yesterday, we were asked a very straightforward question that prompted me to write this blog and clarify the fundamental difference between research panels, and the things that Dub builds; research communities. Panels have been used for many years both online and offline. They consist of a group of pre-selected individuals that assist research companies by completing surveys and questionnaires. Panel members are ‘recruited’, meaning that they meet several c… Continue

Will we ever settle on a way to measure online activity?

I have no idea. But I've wondered aloud on some of the problems we face. My post can be found here. I am far from an expert on the subject and so feedback/comments/corrections are very much welcome
