Virtual Community Research Report

Hi Everbody--

I apologize if this message was already posted, but I posted it
earlier today and it hasn't shown up on my UNCC News account or on
Google! I've had lots of problems with my UNCC news acct, so the
problem may be there....would someone email me if you see this posted
on the group in case the problem is on my end! Thanks!

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:
http://www.uncc.edu/alblanch/#Research 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:
http://www.uncc.edu/alblanch/ResearchReportforVCs.htm. You can also
get to the web version using the
http://www.uncc.edu/alblanch/#Research 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
