Podcast cruisers....I need your help!

[DavidandLeahZ]

A colleague and I are conducting some research for which EVERYONE going on PCC 2.0 would be PERFECT! Basically - as long as you'll be meeting (a simple conversation will do) just one person on the cruise whom you (1) have communicated with on the Boards and (2) have never met in person before....you're eligible to participate.

We could really use your help...all 700+ of you! Please follow the link below - it shouldn't take very long.

I've posted the official recruitment message with all necessary info below.

Hello DISboards members! Have you ever wondered what happens when people who have formed online relationships meet up offline? We are researchers from Western Illinois University who have wondered the same thing. If you are planning to meet up with someone you have met on www.disboards.com sometime in the next six months we hope that you will consider participating in our study.

Participation will occur in two phases. The first phase requires you to click on the link below and complete a short survey. Later, after you meet up with someone from the DISboards offline, we will email you a second survey. Each survey should take no longer than 15 minutes to complete. We would greatly appreciate your help!

If you have any questions concerning this study at any time please contact us at ComResearcher@gmail.com

Please follow this link to the survey: http://OnlinetoOffline.questionpro.com

Thank you,

Just did the survey!

Thanks - if we get just 15% of all podcasters on the cruise - we'll be in GREAT shape!

We could still REALLY use some more people to fill out the survey. Remember - if you're going to talk with just ONE person on the cruise with whom you have replied/chatted/talked with on the boards....you're perfect for this study.

Please help!

I finally filled in the form.

Because i didn't have anybody specific in mind i wasn't going to participate but i just filled in the form because i will meet all kinds of new people i have never met irl so afterwards it must be easy to participate in part II.
