A group of students in a graduate seminar I am teaching has developed an online survey to learn more about the use of the internet and new media by air-l subscribers, and about internet tools made available at AoIR IR 6.0. I would appreciate it if you would take the survey. In all likelihood, unless you write extensive responses to the open- ended questions (which I would encourage), the survey should take about 10 minutes. It will be online until *Tuesday, November 22*. The url for the survey is http://toolssurvey.notlong.com. For those of you who filled out the conference evaluation that was online, please note that this is an entirely different survey, and is not a conference evaluation. If you have any questions please email me off list. Thank you in advance. Sj PS: Those of you who attended the conference met most of these students there, they were the volunteers without whom the conference would have been, logistically, a flop. I hope you share in my gratitude for their work and can repay the favor they showed AoIR by helping them out. Thanks.
Hi, Has anyone here ever used the Richard Rogers' Issue Crawler software ( http://www.govcom.org/ | http://www.issuecrawler.net)? I am trying to use it to map Indonesian NGOs/CSOs to evaluate interlinking among their websites to understand more about their relationship with their donors and issue/concerns for a section in my PhD thesis. If so, I need information me about statistical tests which is well suited for use with Issue Crawler output? Particularly for evaluating differences of network centrality among subsets by domain of sites in the network. (As I am aware, the output of IC includes an actor list of core network and core with periphery). Thanks for any comments and suggestion.

Hi Yanuar, You might want to take a look at my paper, "Web Graph Analysis in Perspective: Description and Evaluation in terms of Krippendorff's Conceptual Framework for Content Analysis," which considers numerous measurement and validity issues for the Issue Crawler software and web graph analysis in general. Hope it is useful: http://farrall.org/papers/webgraph_as_content.html You'll also find Rogers himself to be quite responsive.
