Did you ever get a response to this? I'm also interested. I'm writing up my experiences of recruiting for research using online bulletin board / forums. I also used Facebook but not extensively. I imagine there would be some interesting methodological and ethical questions to consider through these modes of recruitment. Monica 2009/2/6 Alexander Semenov <semenoffalex@googlemail.com>
Hello everybody, I'm interested in any information about sampling and recruiting people in SNS to participate in any kind of online surveys, panels, questionnaires etc. After some googling I've found only several blog postings, like this ones:

http://vannevarvision.wordpress.com/2007/10/04/review-analysis-of-topologica...
http://researchreinvented.blogspot.com/2007/12/recruiting-using-social-netwo... But I wonder whether there are any "serious" articles on the question? Thanks in advance.
