Sophie's Survey: CONFLICT COMMUNICATION asking how and why people use social web media in the context of the Middle East conflict and a possible peace

Dear blogger,

Thank you very much if you have already participated in my survey about conflict related communication on the social web! I have received many enlightening answers so far.

Nevertheless, I am still lacking responses - especially from the blogging communities, which I consider an absolutely crucial part of the online conversation surrounding the Mideast conflict. If you have not yet filled in my questionnaire, please do so:

Please also circulate this email and/or the link to my survey in the respective communities and, if possible, post it on your weblog. Thank you very much, best regards,

CONFLICT COMMUNICATION 2.0

This survey is part of a doctoral thesis dealing with conflict related communication on the social web. I try to find out how and why people use social web media in the context of the Middle East conflict and a possible peace process.

YOUR PARTICIPATION IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED IF YOU ACTIVELY USE SOCIAL WEB MEDIA TO PUBLICLY COMMUNICATE ABOUT THE ONGOING CONFLICT, PEACE-MATTERS AND RELATED EVENTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST - be it by blogging, twittering, posting photos on flickr, using facebook etc.

Sophie Huber, the author and administrator of the survey, is a doctoral student at the ICT&S Center, University of Salzburg, Austria (www.icts.sbg.ac.at).

THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THE SURVEY!

You are invited to post a notice about this survey, e.g. on your blog or facebook page, since I am trying to hear as many and as different voices as possible. Answers to this survey are anonymized.

Completing the questionnaire will take about 15 minutes. Many thanks for taking the time!
