The Nomatic*IM research group in the LUCI lab are conducting a survey on IM. If you have 10 minutes, we’d appreciate your input. The standard text is below. Thanks -Don and the Nomatic*IM research group.

“Are you an adult over 18 who uses a laptop (or other mobile device) and instant messaging software (like AIM, MSN messenger, Google Chat/Talk, Yahoo! Messenger or Skype)? University of California, Irvine researchers are studying the extended UCI community to generate an understanding of the way that people manage interruptions and disclose their location. This will help researchers develop techniques to protect individual privacy in the future. Take an anonymous online survey to tell us about your experiences! Qualified participants will be entered into a drawing for a $50.00 UCI bookstore gift certificate. Estimated time to complete the survey is 10 minutes. Survey URL:
