This announcement was posted in the comments on one of the threads here, and I thought I'd bump it up to the front:

Hello,

My name is Anahí Lazarte and I am agraduate student at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Currently I am working on a project related to political blogs. I am looking for volunteers to share their thoughts about blogging.

Here is a link to the survey:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=32741950394

If you know of friends or family who also read political Blogs please forward this email to them. The survey needs to be completed by Sunday, April 3, at midnight.

Your responses will help communication research to study political blogging and the experiences of Blog users. The goal is to achieve a better understanding of how individuals relate to media and the Internet, and how they perceive the political information that is available across different media.

This survey is part of a graduate course, and it is still in its developing phase. Your feedback will be very important to improve the questionnaire.

Remember, participating in this survey is voluntary, and you can withdraw at any time. This survey is confidential.

Thanks! For additional info call 313-413-2128 or send an e-mail to alazar3@uic.edu.
