(After Craigslist posting with link to online survey including screening questions – after filtering the results potential recruits are asked screening questions to filter out “non-talkative” or otherwise unsuitable participants.

• We will do the user interviews on the following dates: XX/XX; Date convenient? (Date convenient > continue)

• Can you please tell me a little more about the websites you are using most often and how often you are using them? (NOTE: good if MySpace, Friendster, Flickr > Focus on interactive sites! If using more than 2 interactive websites > continue)

• How often do you Blogg and/or read blogs? (More than a few times a month > recruit)
