SomaliNet Forums

Hi,

Not sure if that's the right place but since it's one of the most popular forums I think it makes it eligible;)

Basically, I'm doing some research and hoping to get some feedback here. The same questionnaire is used in several other countries as I'm expecting opinions from different parts of the world.

The research is about the factors that drive us to the Web.

From the point of view of importance, why you personally need the WWW?
In other words, which from the presented three aspects of the World Wide Web is the most important for yourself?

You can vote either here or on this link: http://paneurope.eu/app/mbbs/en/forums/ ... .asp?tid=1 (no registration needed).

Really appreciating your feedback:)

Again, this poll is run in many other places simultaneously and if you're interested, I'll post the compiled results as it ends in a couple of months.

I'll check back later, I don't think I have the stainima to read all that, when infact my stomach is way too full for even me to catch my breath.

I use the internet mostly for knowledge activities (news, reports, information, reviews, how-tos, coding, technology, science, health, etc). While I am engaged in those activities, I sneak from time to time to post few/several comments.

A web site will represent you, your organization or your business online. It's an opportunity for you to publish knowledge, ideas and products to the world and become accessible to anybody and anywhere, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, that is, the web gives you a round-the-clock interactive service at a reduced expense! Can you think of any other cost effective communication medium that can do this for you???
So niemand, you suppose to ask: why don't you have a web site?
"For Knowledge" choose 4 me!

Hi again,
Actually, I just found that your polls are limited to 10 options while my new poll (last for this year - promise ) has 14. Because of this I can't create it here so maybe you could vote on tis link: http://www.paneurope.eu/app/mbbs/en/for ... .asp?tid=2
Thank you again, I really value your input

Sorry about the formatting but I seem to have problems with either [code] tag or monospaced fonts here...
The last two columns (X.en and X.ru) are from the English and Russian versions of this poll on a neutral site.
Thank you for your participation but please continue good work and keep voting

How are you going to rate members in this forum as they come from different parts of the world. I think you are suppose to target groups in different countries to make your analysis easy.


Just an idea!

Doing any kind of regional analysis is really beyond the scope of this research I just need results from as many different people as possible. I mean, I want to try to cover different people from different environments and with diffferent lifestyles and attitudes

If you are looking for numbers then that is fine. But still how can you group people in this forum in terms of different lifestyles & attitude? You seem to ask just one question?

Sorry I am just curious!!

I think if I run this on different continents that means different environments and traditions and, hence, different lifestyles and attitudes. Again, that is just my assumption and I'm not going to argue if it is not obvious but I hope it makes sense
