thanks for the kind remark about my book! I would also recommend: 1. James Spradley, who wrote a book called, I think, "Ethnographic Interviewing." Excellent in helping to develop question types. 2. Me (Markham), who writes a chapter in Clive Seale's (et al) recent edited volume on qualitative research practice (Sage). I focus on challenges and ethics of online interviewing. Chapter draft is here: http://faculty.uvi.edu/users/amarkha/writing/Seale.htm 3. The edited volume "Inside Interviewing" by Gubrium and Holstein (Sage).

*Learning How To Ask: The Art of the Interview (Charles Briggs) -- I recently learned from the author that he is either finishing or just finished a second edition.

*Annette Markham. Life Online. Both a methods book and an ethnography, and for my money one of the best out there in both categories for online researchers.

poke me by email and i'll send you more tonight . . .
