Distributing the questionnaire
The questionnaire should give an overview of different
Internet users. Since their is no particular interest group for a questionnaire
like this, a competition was added to induce more people to take part in
the survey. The questionnaire was first distributed within Switzerland and
then world-wide:
week one:
e-mail with announcement of questionnaire to all
colleagues.
e-mail to universities, Internet cafes and Internet
providers in Switzerland, asking them to make a link from their server to
this questionnaire.
announcement in news groups: ch.general and swiss.soc.culture.
e-mail to i-a-s-g group.
week three:
announcement in news groups: www.news.announce, alt.irc.misc
and alt.mud.misc.
announcement in different WWW-sites, which collecting
and distribute new WWW-sites.
end of week four:
end of competition.
end of week six:
end of survey.
We would like to thank all of the people and organisations
who have set up a link or distributed the questionnaire. The questionnaire
was also mentioned in distribution lists.
There were not a lot of reactions to the questionnaire.
Inside one news group a critique of the questionnaire was sent. A few people
made contact by e-mail, because they are occupied with similar research.
Most of the people used the comment
