Since some of you remarked about my school project in my last post- I decided to enlist your help...
I'm taking a Senior Capstone course in Nonverbal Communication. My group project with two other classmates is to study how people compensate for nonverbal cues in computer-mediated communication. In other words- how you convey emotion,sarcasm etc. that in face to face communication would be done by facial expression, gestures, or changes in inflection or tone of voice.
So let me know - how do you enhance your written messages in your blog, email, im, text messaging? Is it different in a business or academic setting vs. a social setting? Do you use emoticons, different font styles, strike throughs,bold type etc?
I've set up a separate page here. There are links there to two very short (10 question) surveys. Please, tell all your friends! We need data!
**** update*** Thanks to all who have taken the two surveys. There is one more survey that we'd like everyone to take- Please if you have time, go check it out!

Does this count?
LOL- of course- inserting a link to a graphic to enhance your written message- EXCELLENT!
Hope you share the results with us, my geeky side is really curious!
Of course, we can tell a lot about Syd by the type of pics/graphics she posts. hehe
So do we get drugs before filling out the survey? Are you checking for comprehension of the questions? Why did you pick purple?
