Hi there everyone,
My post is about something a bit different, it might interest you so please have a read,
I'm currently doing my dissertation and I'm looking at the issue of loneliness and online forums/communities. Basically I'm trying to gather forum users experiences and views of loneliness and their use of internet communication. I thought about my topic for a long time and wanted to research something that is personal to me and many others. Loneliness is universal and is often something people are embarrassed about and don't admit to many people, much like myself and I want to talk to other people who feel the same and write about it. Hopefully it's interesting and benefits all those involved.
The idea is to have informal email interviews, though I'd be happy to use other forms of communication, IM for example if anyone prefers, and we would discuss themes/questions and share experiences and views over a period of a few weeks. This will depend on how interested people are and how quickly they respond. I'm happy to share my experiences with people too, again it will be very informal. I suggest email interviews because it's private but whatever way an interview happens anonymity is guaranteed.
If anyone is interested or has any questions please leave a post or private message me and I'll get back to you. Or if you know anyone who hasn't seen this but might be interested in taking part please let them know. I'd hope we could start in the coming weeks. I shall check back on this thread and answer any questions anyone has also. Thank you so much for reading through. Best wishes to everyone.
