The survey is now completed and I am analyzing the results. Initial information will be posted here.
231 people completed the survey. Summary information is posted below as I get a chance to gather it.
If you have specific questions or want to discuss the survey in more detail, please feel free to contact me at ahynes1@optonline.net

Notes: This matches a previous survey that I had conducted. It is
interesting to observe that contrary to what is often said in the press, this is well distributed across the age spectrum and isn't just youngsters.

Notes:
|
| State |
|
Thirty nine states are represented in the survey. The top states were NY, TX, OR, CA, CT, PA, WA, IL, FL, OH, VT. Generally, this matches the population of the states, with the exceptions of CT which had a large number of responses since I'm from CT and a lot more people know me and responded to the survey. I suspect VT was over represented because of the campaign being headquartered in Vermont. WA and OR are perhaps over represented because of the high level of online activism in those areas. Note recent blog entries.

Notes: The most popular sites listed were local sites, followed closely by state sites. Coming in third (about half as many as state sites, are the chat sites HowardDeanCoffeeHouse etc.) It is also used for coordination events and constiuency groups. There were a few College based mailing lists.
One person mentioned that Yahoo can be used for other activities, such as Chat, Calendar, etc. As noted below, no one mentioned using Yahoo for Chat. I know that some work is being done using Yahoo calendars and sharing photos.

Notes: The web hasn't had a big effect on peoples positions. I'm not too surprised at this. It supports part of my thesis and ties nicely with the comments about Forums. I'm curious about the relationship between these numbers and the uses of forums.

Notes: A quarter of the people responding met a lot of new people or developed new friendships face to face. I think that is pretty significant. The numbers are even greater, around 37% for people in the 30-39 age bracket. I would like to analyze this by gender and also see how this correlates to some other fields.

Notes: 29% of the people said they contributed a lot more. That seems like a good increase in fundraising. I should check this against how much they said the contributed and how they contributed.
