Melissa- Experiment Three

For my third experiment I decided to ask a question that could potentially reveal the sort of content that would generate interest. I expanded the participant group again, and sorted them into groups that knew each other, to promote interaction. The question I asked was:


"What is the funniest thing you have ever seen?"


The response to this was varied, but most that did answer chose to send videos or links. One participant posted a picture:

Two participants posted Youtube videos:

Two participants posted videos of their friends, that were hosted on Facebook.

Although the participants did not respond to the material others had posted, a social discussion thread did emerge. As this sent notifications to all recipients of the email, responses continued to be posted for several days after the message was initially sent.
