Greetings, My name is Tyler Pace and I am a researcher with the Indiana University School of Informatics. My colleague, Shaowen Bardzell, and I would greatly appreciate your time and participation in our survey investigating the experience of intimacy in virtual worlds. You may participate in the survey via the following link. The survey should take about 15-30 minutes to complete. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=pPmM7g_2bdQSYreYaDMOzJ1A_3d_3d As virtual worlds continue to grow in popularity as both locations of personal enjoyment and professional conduct, it is increasingly important for virtual world researchers and designers to better understand the practices and experiences of virtual world users. Intimacy is one such topic which is fundamental to human relationships but has received little to no attention in virtual world research. This survey aims to shed light on how intimacy is constructed and experienced in virtual worlds. If you have any questions regarding this study, please feel free to contact us. Additionally, if you know of anyone who might be interested in participating in this study, please feel free to pass this message along to them. Best, Tyler Pace (tympace [at] indiana [dot] edu) Shaowen Bardzell (selu [at] indiana [dot] edu) Indiana University School of Informatics http://informatics.indiana.edu/
