Just got this random e-mail from a student in Singapore doing research about Blogging and ethics. Of course, I helped him out. If you're a blogger, I urge you to do the same:

"Hi,

I am an undergraduate from the School of Communications and Information, Nanyang Technological University (Singapore). My fellow course-mates and I are conducting an online survey to study the practices and attitudes of bloggers on ethics and blogging as part of our honours thesis. We hope you can help us by taking part in our survey.

We have retrieved your e-mail address from your weblog. Your weblog was, in turn, randomly selected using weblog generating services freely available on the Internet.

Your participation in this survey is voluntary and should take no longer than 20 minutes to complete. All information will be kept confidential. We really appreciate if you can take some time off to participate in our survey. You can start the survey by clicking on the link below.

And if you would just give us a little additional support, you can mention our survey by posting our link on your weblog post, or forward this e-mail to your friends. We are working hard to have our survey disseminate globally across countries so that a wide demographic can be collected.

Upon the completion of this study, the survey results will be made available to all participants at The Singapore Internet Research Centre. You can visit the home page by following this link: NTU.

Thank you for taking the time to read this e-mail. If you have any questions, concerns or comments, please contact me at: nes@pmail.ntu.edu.sg

Sincerely,

Andy Koh"
