Kudos for recognizing the loufoqueness, even if we may disagree about the degree of silliness. Welcome! I have no idea what the Canadian academic requirements are for things like this. Perhaps lil could weigh in with her experience.
This could pass for research. The questions were pretty lame. I'd like to see the research proposal that they submitted to these gov. granting agencies. They would have had to include any research already done on the topic of why people join or leave news aggregator websites. Their multiple choice question about "why" one joins these websites seems to miss a lot of the point of hubski. I could have added a dozen more boxes.NSERC Discovery grant; SSHRC Insight Grant
