Virtual Communities Research Report

Hi Everbody--

I apologize if this is posted twice. I tried to post it earlier this morning, but it hasn't shown up on either my UNCC newsgroup account or on Google. My UNCC account often has problems, so it's possible this is the second time you've seen this post! Please email me when/if this shows up so that I know it worked!

Thanks so much! Anita

Hi Folks!

I have finished the preliminary analyses from the project you helped me with this spring. (Thank you again!) Now, I am sending a link to the research report.

There are a couple of ways you can get to the report:

• To download a MS word version (no viruses) go to:

Look for the Models Of Successful Virtual Communities bullet point and choose the Research Report (MS Word version)

• To access the web version, simply click on this link:
  formatting link
  You can also get to the web version using the
  formatting link
  link, too.

I prefer the MS Word version. Some of the formatting is different in the web version, but all the text is the same.

I welcome *any* comments, questions, or feedback you have! Also, your group is “disguised” in the report, but it should be obvious who you are! Let me know if it isn’t!!

This was a very interesting project and I think there is quite a bit we can learn from the study. I did not include a lot of the statistics and previous research articles on virtual communities. If you have questions about either of those, let me know and I will send you the info.

Thank you all again, very much!

Anita
