  2. I really enjoyed meeting Joyce and Anita last week: what was really interesting was the use of closed networks, i.e. Facebook in this case, to conduct market research. Curious to hear from others involved in this type of research?

    It would be great to get a short paragraph explaining the poster. Initial question, how did you do your online discussions - what platform did you use?

  7. The poster shows how we approached vocational students - peer to peer, via the social media accounts of 10 vocational students (panelgroup)

  8. I'd be interested to know more about how you got your sample. Did you select them via social media?

  9. We wanted to research how this specific group of young people think about politics and the elections... tbc

    Did the online discussions take place through social media such as Facebook or Twitter, or did they take place in (private?) online chat rooms?

  11. Method:

    1. We selected a panel of 10 students (approaching them offline)
    We made sure the panel was as divers as the polulation of vocational students (stratified to ethnicity, city region, sexe)

  12. We organised an offline meeting for this panel in which we brought up the subject and related themes (politics, elections, campaigns, voting)

    At the end of this (brief) discussion we asked them to continue this discussion online -on Twitter and Facebook - with their own friends and followers. Because they befriended ''buzzmij', we were able to monitor the following online dialogues.

    1. And how did you manage the ethics of that situation? I know people will be interested in that aspect.

      I would be very interested to know about the ethics too. Especially when you were asking participants to discuss with their own friends etc while you were monitoring the discussion - did you ask the friends/family/followers for permission or inform them that you were monitoring the conversations?

    3. Our panelmembers used #research.
      However, because of the snowball effect friends of friends did not see this hashtag anymore.
      We anonymised all data before published.

  13. Another question from our session one thread for Anita and Joyce: interesting poster. Love how the layout makes social media research accessible to the general public. How did you approach the online discussion? What platforms used? -Kelsey

  15. Fot two weeks we monitored the online social media dialogue of our panelmembers with their friends and followers, providiing with rich data about their feelings and attitudes towards politics and their voting intentions.
