VW, re: the other category, I know I also marked other because I've been a member of several other online communities in addition to Buffistas.

The numbers are so cool though!

hi Nilly!

Happy birthday, ChiKat!

I'm not surprised that it ended up being that way, since the way we spread news of the survey was through LJ and blogs

I wonder how many people got to the survey from whrere, how the information propogated. A few hundreds nodes is a relatively small sample for the usual analysis I do on networks, but I'm interested in the topological structure of it, and the time it took for it to propogate to the different parts of the network of people who answered.

So, um, yeah, I'm a geek, what else is new?

I had hoped to get about 50 of each category, and thought I'd get more like 30. So, my cup runneth over.

Oh, wow. I guess your topic is even more interesting to people than even you thought, then, ha?

Do you have already in mind the questions you want to check with this data? Am I nagging you with too many questions?

[Edit: Kat! Another nice lady I haven't posted with for too long! You're up early! How are you doing? Is this semester crazy, as well?]

Nilly, this semester is worse than usual. Between teaching full time, grad school, and teaching writing methods at a local university, I'm sort of swamped.

I did ask how each person found out about the survey, so I'm sure I'll get some answers from that.

Hee!

Do you have already in mind the questions you want to check with this data?

Primarily I'll be looking at what kinds of needs are/were filled by these online communities, and are they similar or different between the Bronze and the Buffistas. There are other things too, of course, but that's the big one.

Am I nagging you with too many questions?

Nope. It's fun to see other people excited about the project too.

ETA: Holy cow, Kat! That is a really busy schedule!

Wow. I knew about the first two, but had no idea about the third (what's "writing methods", asked the ignorant physics student?). No wonder you're up at such hours! Are the schedules of all three overlapping, or will you have some time with 'only' a couple of the three?

I'm sure I'll get some answers from that

Will it be possible to sort them by time? Like, how long after the beginning of the survey/the posting of the link did the person actually fill the survey?

Yup, still reads fascinating. Do you have an early assumptions, or just want to check the question?

Nope

Good, because I find it so interesting, it's hard for me to stop asking...

Will it be possible to sort them by time? Like, how long after the beginning of the survey/the posting of the link did the person actually fill the survey?

I could do that, yes. We'll see. I'm going to be somewhat limited in my analysis, because I only have so much time to analyze.

Do you have an early assumptions, or just want to check the question?

I have assumptions, but they're probably incorrect, so I'm going to plead the fifth :).

Ok. Shower time! Have a good day, everyone!

Have a great day, vw!

Happy Birthday, ChiKat!

Happy Birthday, ChiKat!

Even more birthday wishes to ChiKat!
