Do you digg, Twitter, Facebook, blog, podcast, Flickr, YouTube, SecondLife, etc? Do you have more friends online than you do in real life? Are you always sharing information with others online? I need your help!

Finally, I am working on the original research portion of my capstone project. I’m looking for opinion leaders of online communities to answer a few questions over e-mail. If you qualify for my study and complete the interview questions about your Web 2.0 activities, I’ll send you a $10 iTunes e-gift certificate for helping me out. Just send an e-mail to whatmakesuclick at gmail.com to be considered. Be sure to include links to your online profiles or Web sites/blogs so I can see if you are a good fit to participate. I’ll select the first four people who contact me that meet all of the following criteria:

• They are frequent users of and active participants on one or more Web sites that sustain an online community.
• They have a large number of social connections with that Web site, respective to the number of social connections of other members within the same community.
• Their contribution to the virtual community includes frequent posting of information or user-generated content relevant to the community’s topic of interest.

Additionally, participants must be 18 or older. Also, if you participate in the study, your responses will be kept anonymous.
