[Air-L] software for online ethnography (Ashley Hinck)

[Monica Barratt]

Hi Jason

I have used instant messaging as part of qualitative research within
an ethnographic framework. This is the first I've heard of Ethnochat
and of your work. Is it available for use by researchers as I would be
interested in trying it.

I've just published an article on my experiences of online
interviewing which you may be interest in:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1465-3362.2011.00399.x/abstract

And I'd like to thank all of the AoIR community for the many
discussions of online interviewing we have had over the years which
have helped shape my thoughts/practice.

Cheers
Monica
