Qual research with digital diaries- seeking tools & tips, please
Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone on this list had experience of using a mobile diary app as research tool (for participants). I'd like participants to post to a diary via phone or tablet, & will need to have access (& be able to archive diaries). I've looked at ethno hub (http://ethnohub.com<http://ethnohub.com/>), and my panel (which is a market research tool (http://www.mobilemarketresearch.net/mypanel/features). And there's always the option of plain old wordpress - but the question is how to export & archive the data? Any tips (or even anecdotes) from seasoned players will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kath The good thing about 'plain old wordpress' is that it is an open format, very easy to archive. You just need to 'spider' the website once the posts are up, that is, run software that visits every webpage and saves a copy. Firefox has a plugins that will do it, foxyspider and spiderzilla are 2 examples. Cheers Dennis On 03/02/14 13:19, Kath Albury wrote:

WordPress has a nice XML export that lets you get the entire contents of a blog (if you are the owner) in a single metadata-rich file. DiscoverText has a nice upload option for WordPress XML exports. On Tue, Feb 4, 2014 at 5:59 PM, Dennis Wollersheim <dewoller@gmail.com>wrote:

Hi all, Quite a few people contacted me off-list, expressing interest in this topic- a consensus seems to be shaping up in favour of Wordpress. Many thanks for your advice.
