Short Survey - Patterns in UserIDs (need help)

Post by nitinjindal83 »

Hi,

My name is Nitin. I am a graduate student at University of Illinois at
Chicago (UIC). I am conducting a few minutes short survey on "Patterns
in Userids" for my research project. We want to study patterns in
usernames or userids created by people when they register on different
websites, etc. I would be really thankful if you could participate in
this short survey. The link is:

http://www.cs.uic.edu/~survey/piu

The survey has been approved by Institutional Review Board of UIC.

I can assure you that this is not a hack or a spam. If you have any
doubts, you can also find the above survey link at the Department of
Computer Science's research page

Thanks,

?? I think you'd have more luck with a survey, which focused on whether people used the same user IDs / PWs on different sites etc. I don't think much people are interested in giving out user IDs / PWs and in addition to that, the sites on which they're used ?

That would more be a survey of how easy phishing is :-)
