Online communities results

Dear visitor,

I have combined all the results into a word file making it easier for you to filter through the data. The file can be opened in a new window without saving it, so you don’t have to take any risks downloading a file from the Internet. Please download the file from my social network http://socialmediaaddiction.ning.com/forum/topics/online-communities-results 

I hope you appreciate this effort and recommend the survey to your friends, as I do rely on word-of-mouth advertising.

If you have not taken the survey yet, the link to take it is http://ww3.unipark.de/uc/online-communities

Thank you for your interest. For feedback and suggestions for improvement on the survey please contact me at …

Ning: The future of online social networking?

Dear visitors,

Ning lets members custom build their own social-networking platforms based around their passions and pastimes. Please read the following article to learn more about Ning.

I believe it coud be interesting to start a network where everyone is free to administer the site in a sense of commenting in forums, uploading, etc.

For this reason I opened a Ning site on social media: http://socialmediaaddiction.ning.com/ If this sounds interesting to you pls join in.

Greetings,

Online survey

Hi everybody,

I have completed an online survey on the “Attractiveness of online communities – a user’s perspective”

I am very interested in the findings, which I will share with you publicly over this blog of course!

You can start the survey by clicking here:

Have fun filling out the survey,

John Cassidy

How do you use social media sites?

Or: “What can an online community do for you?”

I would like to leave this question as open as it is to brainstorm and gather ideas for creating interesting threads

Twitter account

You will see straight away that I am a new account on twitter recently as I feel it is an amazing tool which helps connect on the go through mobile devices. I am also trying to form an open themed community interested in social media. This blog in future may be a better platform for ongoing conversations regarding certain questions.

Who I am

Myself in tag format:

married, student, swiss, australian, 28, strategy, marketing, online communities, fantasy, world of warcraft, golf, tennis, jazz, wine

My name John Cassidy – not surprisingly – was occupied already so I ended up choosing Egwene al Vere instead. A character out of “the wheel of time” which my wife and I love reading – in short fantasy literature.

Are Online Communities an addiction?

Hi all,
I am interested in all kinds of online communities and am trying to get to know more about them in an academic approach. To understand more about social technologies I also would like to benefit from all your experiences.

Thanks in advance,
John Cassidy
