Title
Undertake and publish research on livejournal usage
Short, concise description of the idea
I would like to see some research undertaken on who uses LJ, how it is used, types of social network
Full description of the idea
This could be done by sampling a few thousand random, but active journals. Questionnaires could be issued to determine how/why people post, select friends, etc. Information could be automatically obtained on friends numbers, community membership, post/comment frequency.
An ordered list of benefits
- Would enable development to be targetted better for existing users
An ordered list of problems/issues involved
- Time consuming to develop
- Privacy issues
- Sample bias(not all would respond)
