Dear Air: The Survey2001 instrument is finally live, and we would value your help in generating the snowball sample by having your classes, friends, family, colleagues, and ultimately, doing the survey yourself. Some of the AIR folk have been working on this for two years now, and the full advisory board, drawing on talent from around the world, is identified on the site. http://survey2001.nationalgeographic.com This web-based survey instrument is designed to put all that is dynamic and fun in new media to work for us the social sciences. Please post this on your (other) favorite lists to spread the word, and have a look at the instrument yourself. It is currently up in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish, so please spread the word internationally. Several Asian languages will be added shortly. If you are interested looking through the data set from the first iteration of this survey, have a look at the Survey2000 website http://survey2000.nationalgeographic.com. Over 80,000 respondents completed this survey and the rich data covers a wide range of topics, including Internet use, culture, mobility and social values. Eventually, the Survey2001 data set will also be available for your use. p. Philip Howard ph. (773) 274-6817 / c.
