What is your experience of using TechRepublic?
Lockedby ms09nk · about 13 years, 7 months ago
Hello everyone,
As part of my MSc Dissertation project at Warwick Business School in UK, I?m conducting a survey that deals with users? experiences of participation in professional virtual communities, of which TechRepublic is perfect example.
I would be great if you could help me and participate by clicking on the link below. The survey will take no longer than 10 minutes to answer. All responses will be kept strictly confidential (used only for the purposes of my dissertation). Everyone who participates will have the option to enter into a draw for five ?20 (or $30) Amazon vouchers.
The survey is accessible at:
http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/332962/ks-vcp7
I greatly appreciate your help. My degree depends on this survey! If you would like to know the results of my work, I will be happy to share them here with the TechRepublic community after the data is collected.
Best regards,
Nikita Kursov

The survey is very generic and not TR-specific. What other sites are you posting this to?
Hey, PTBs, you cool with this?

Marketing what?

On-line survey services? The first page of the survey wasn’t pushing anything. It looks harmless, but something didn’t give me warm fuzzies.

Purely academic research
by ms09nk · about 13 years, 7 months ago
In reply to I’m not
I can promise you that I am not marketing anything other than my own academic survey. My research is purely academic and needless to say, there are absolutely no commercial intentions involved. My only intention is to do well in my dissertation and contribute new, valuable insights to academic literature.

Incentives, not intentions
by ms09nk · about 13 years, 7 months ago
In reply to commercial intentions
That is correct, there are absolutely no commercial intentions.
The sole purpose of the Amazon vouchers is to serve as an incentive for potential participants, and as a thank you for taking the time and effort to participate. If I had the necessary financial resources, I would give every participant an Amazon voucher in return, however in reality this is not possible, hence the five voucher prize draw.

In reply to commercial intentions
Your exclamation that, “My degree depends on this survey!”
Which is to say, on the kindness of strangers alone? Your own work to this point, not?
Does the exclamation fall in line with your repeated assertions about needing to adhere faithfully to academic parameters?

In reply to There is, as well
Would you kindly clarify as to what exactly you are implying your post?
The central and most important piece of my Masters degree, (besides exams, essays, presentations etc), is the dissertation, this also being the last stage of the course. In turn, the central part of my dissertation is the survey. As is the case with most surveys that I’ve come across, my survey inevitably depends on the kindness of strangers, as you correctly put. Therefore at this point, my degree very much depends on the kindness of strangers, as, simply put: no responses => no data => no dissertation => no degree.
I am not sure how this relates to ‘adherence to academic parameters’.

I just have. I expanded my original post — “Pure marketing” — on two counts: commercialization and exclamation.
Further, the bullshilt to which Jaqui refers is your own. I’ve been playing off your terminology: “nature of academic surveys…compromise the validity…fastidious world of academic research…measures invalid”.
I imply nothing. I declare. Yours, so far, amounts to an aside.
I repeat: where in the fastidious world of academic research do you fit your exclamation point? Where do you fit payment?
Yours is a business school. Nowadays it’s called, “business development”; aka, “marketing”.
Pure marketing.

I have ‘reached my maximum message level’ so I am posting up the tree.
@santeewelding: I must have, for some unexplainable reason, personally insulted you by posting an invitation to my survey on the TechRepublic Forums, for I cannot find any other reason why you would be picking on such trivial points as the exclamation mark in my survey invitation.I think I have explained myself and my intentions quite clearly. And as I already mentioned, the ‘payment’, serves as an added incentive for members to participate, this is regularly used in quantitative academic research.
I am not forcing you or anyone else to take the survey – it is an invitation: if you prefer not to, don’t participate. How this could have agitated or offended you is beyond my understanding.

More information on my research
by ms09nk · about 13 years, 7 months ago
In reply to Questions
I understand your point and apologise if the survey if you perceive the survey too generic for the TechRepublic forum.
The original aspect of my research is that unlike previous studies, it examines professional virtual communities (aka virtual communities of practice). Consequently, I found the TechRepublic discussion forums to be one of the best examples of such communities. I have also offered the survey to members of 4 other professional virtual communities, including Spiceworks.com and WebDeveloper.com.
Needless to say, I will be happy to provide you with any further information regarding my research.

Esitmating almost 100 questions.
by charliespencer · about 13 years, 7 months ago
In reply to More information on my research
Most of your questions are multi-part, with at least three sub-questions each, and many appear repetitive (on the first page, questions 8 and 9).
I reached the second page, saw the number of responses expected, and quit.
-
August 13, 2010 at 9:16 am #2858791
66, to be precise
by ms09nk · about 13 years, 7 months ago
In reply to Esitmating almost 100 questions.
I would have loved to make the survey more concise and the questions less repetitive, but unfortunately this is the nature of academic surveys and cutting anything out compromises the validity of my results.
There are a total of 66 questions, and each one only takes a few seconds to answer. Having been pre-tested multiple times, it took respondents no longer than 10 minutes to complete.

In reply to I completed it
The questions where repetitive which is to be expected by Uni Requirements so that was no biggy for me.
However with all the questions about the
Moderator Running the site which isn’t the case with TR I think that the results may be far from what actually happens here at TR. I’ve had occasion where I’ve been giving Technical help to a Moderator off line.Also many here give help just because they feel that it’s their responsibility to return what they received years ago when they where starting out.
While they do run into problems and they do expect help from the community at those times occasionally it’s not the reason why they offer help to begin with.
But then again maybe I’m completely wrong and I’m just strange, as it’s how I work. :0

That’s probably correct.

But on a more serious note we all got a lot of help in the early days and we all have to [b]Pay it Forward[/b] so if nothing else we have a quieter life. 😉
Or maybe it’s just because I used to run training classes so in some perverted sort of way I used to teach. Perhaps I just can not break the habit.

In reply to What is your experience of using TechRepublic?
and gmail doesn’t like your email address. 😀
so here, something to consider when you check the responses from TR members.
We only started having a Moderator on the site 2/3 years ago. Both of them came from the membership. We tend to be self policing on TR, and the moderator was actually only added for deleting the “spam” posts. where people post large posts of links to sell items.
In general, if someone new picks a fight with anyone who has been around for a while, they have the entire active membership on their case. We tend to see ourselves as an extended family.
It truly is a unique online community.

That even you, Jaqui — possibly the least among us — do not fit into the mold of trust.
“Trust” is that which marketers and their ilk study intensively at university, relying heavily on 18-20 year-old-something subjects, like an ingrown toenail of intellect, to extrapolate to adults at large.
I am not one of them.

He’s not only been hanging around, he’s been active–definitely not your typical spammer.
I took the survey, but declined the $/£/€ incentive. The survey was a bit repetitive, but I suspect that has more to do with statistical accuracy than anything else.
The only lack I noticed was a provision for respondent comments. Not a problem. If he continues to monitor this discussion, he’ll get an earful. And maybe even a few usable quotes.

“How the hell are you?”
I’m good most days, thanks for asking.
“And, who the hell are you?”
You do ask the tough ones, don’t you? I’ll let you know when I discover the answer. If you mean what do I do, (a much easier question) … Our first house was out in the country, in the woods. Every day, when we were building it I would pass a place. First I noticed they were selling pumpkins. A few weeks later it was squash and maize. Then it was Christmas trees, and then wood burning stoves, and then hot tubs and then quilts … It was always something different and often many things at once. I thought that was kind of cool … a very different economy from urban life. Well, that is kind of what I do now, only not quite so close to the earth. I obviously have an IT background and take opportunities in that when there is occasion. Sorry for the overly long answer, but you can’t ask that kind of question and expect otherwise … that is unless I gave you some kind of zen answer like, I am the fire that quenches the thirst.
“Seems I knew once in a way someone up by your way. You wouldn’t be him, would you?”
Probably not. You would remember me. If you were wearing your asbestos shorts, I would have bugged you with questions about welding till you escaped out of the side exit. One of a few regrets, never having learned to weld.
“Regardless, you handle yourself — and I enjoy you — well.”
I appreciate that. You are kind of like the Greek Chorus for TR, (not exactly that, but it is as close as I can come to a description), and I enjoy that.

But Welding is Welding
by hal 9000 · about 13 years, 7 months ago
In reply to and Santee
It’s not a Black Art like IT.
It’s pretty straight forward. Take into account the type of Metal use the approbate device to join 2 or more bits of metal together. Be that a Stick Welder, Mig, Tig Oxy or whatever.
Running a bead with a Stick welder is relatively easy it just takes a bit of practice. 😉
The others are a bit more involved and you have to take into account the thickness of the material and what you want/need to do but with a bit of practice anyone can do it. Well almost anyone as I once ran across a guy who couldn’t be taught how to use a Screwdriver but he is the exception.
However I also say the same thing about IT with enough practice anyone can do it. :^0

We are all Sectioned but we don’t mind because
[b]WE RUN THE ASYLUM.[/b]
After all if we where voluntary we could leave any time we want to and as no one wants to leave we are stuck here.
We have however made it into a fun place so why would we want to leave now? :p

In reply to What is your experience of using TechRepublic?
It will reported as spam.
Just to give you a heads up.
I am not into any kind of marketing (unless it is on my terms) of any kind. So for your question paper you will have to use your own brain to fathom out the answers. Some answers can not be answered by your paper, the answer is inside yourself, not by others. You have a paper to do, so go and do it, do not ask us to help you out while you sit back with the answers rolling in because you are too stupid/lazy/tired to fill in the answers yourself. What do they teach at school now-a-days, “How to do a questionnaire”? Go to a library and read some books on the subject in hand for your thesis.-

But in this case your Own Brain can not give you the answers. It is asking how people relate on Specialized Web Sites like TR so how can any single person know the answer for that type of question without asking others?
It’s like the Mech Engineer doing a Thesis on Turbo Charged Boxer Engines without doing any Research.
With all Uni Type Papers particularly Dissertations and the like [b]Research[/b] is the key to it all. Also the fact that these things end up as Public Domain most times also means that it’s free to anyone who cares to look and read when it’s eventually finished.
Of course you do have to know where to look. :^0
