I have just completed a survey on my group (Aspergers)...the uni student joined relevant groups that he/she was interested in and sent out notecards with the questions. Easy peasy.
Maybe join Fashion Cafe or similair, search under groups..use fashion or shopping as yr key word..do the notecard thing rather than group IM though..maybe check out profiles for who's a mad shopper...hell send me a notecard inworld...i do anything to avoid the mound of paperwork on my desk lolz!

Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with, and then the different branches of Arithmetic --Ambition, Distraction, Uglification , and Derision. Well, there was Mystery, ancient and modern, with Seaography: then Drawling--the Drawling-master was an old conger-eel, that used to come once a week: He taught us Drawling, Stretching, and Fainting in Coils.

Thanks for the reminder. Haven't thought of those in ages. Poor Alice.

See, now, that's really not very generous.

Using alts, you could do the survey dozens of times with the same completely wrong information, thereby increasing the reliability of the data.

Jus' tryin' to help.

thanks for those who answer my questions sincerely.

I know that some might give fake answers. But, I think you will get what you have given one day... its life man.. :0)

Hi All Residents,

I am doing a research about Virtual Shopping Behavior for my graduate study at National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan.

I need respondents for my survey, please help me by click http://tinyurl.com/cz4meh.

The survey is about the customer behavior in buying either virtual or real goods through SL. It takes 5-10 minutes to answer all the questions.

All the data will be treated anonymous and confidentially for the purpose of this study only.

Feel free to contact me if you have any question or suggestion related to this questionnaire at [email]erkaburuan@gmail.com[/email].

Thank you so much for you help.

errrr...i thought it was "Questions about Shopping on Ebay" i was fillin up

Ummmmm....... do you realize that almost all RL companies are no longer attempting to sell in SL cuz it didn't work? That article is 2 years old.

Of course not. Most of these survey spammers never actually use SL. How would they know?

Do yourself a favour and forget this whole survey thing right this minute. You are working on totally outdated facts - all firms mentioned in this article bailed out soon after trying the SL environment. So no, there is no longer shopping in SL - at least not the kind you want to study.

I think its ok for me to study about how and why people buy the virtual things with the real money.

It doesn't matter if the this inside SL real or virtual, the one which is matter to me is that all the residents use "real money" to buy it.

Thanks for you reminding. Do you know others who did the same research before?

Hi LittleMe,

Thanks for your response. Do you know any article showed that those companies stop their selling through SL? Can you give me any link or others evidence mentioned about it?

There have been a gazillion press releases from the individual firms saying they pull out of SL because it didn't do them any good. And no, I won't provide the links, you can use Google yourself.

Thanks for filling up the questionnaire. It's interesting to know that some of the real goods trader stop their selling activities on SL.

Does anybody has experience buying the Real Goods on SL?

Can you just help me filling up my questionnaire if you haven't done it yet?
