She writes: "I'm interested in any research related to kids/teenagers' use of webcamera in 1:1 conversations through instant messaging services such as Skype and MSN Messenger. How many have webcameras, who has them, how often do they use them, who do they have webcamera conversations with and who do they avoid, what type of content do they produce/share, are there any gender specific patterns etc. I'm (also) interested in research related to kids/teenagers' use of MMS. Who sends and who receives MMSes and what type of content do respectively boys/girls share with whom? " If anyone would like to answer her, I would be happy to forward your message.
