Hi all,
Interesting research heads-up. Aleks Krotoski is doing PhD research on social networks and information diffusion in Second Life, described at http://socialsim.blogspot.com/2006/04/calling-all-second-lifers.html . There’s a short survey to fill out at http://www.psy.surrey.ac.uk/survey21/ and you can visit the Social Simulation Research Lab in the Games sim 205/244/23 (direct SLurl on site).
In a nutshell she asks:
“Who controls the information in virtual worlds? How do fads and trends spread around them? And how important are chance encounters at game parlours, rest areas or marketplaces?
My research aims to answer these questions by describing the social networks of Second Life. The goals are to understand who talks with whom, to follow information as it spreads around the virtual world, and to uncover which groups and cliques are most integral to the social workings of this online space.
I need to poll as many Residents as possible. Who are your friends and acquaintances?”
I’m running to fill out the survey at http://www.psy.surrey.ac.uk/survey21/ . I want to know what our networks look like... Aleks, complete your research quickly! /whips :)
Cheers,
Jerry
