Assignment 2 - Ideas for Miniconference

I would like to do a coordinated research project for the conference. The objective is to establish some basic facts about Internet communications. I would like to document the difference in posting frequencies between posters who are aligned on a narrow area of a line of longitude versus posters who are the same distance apart but on a latitude.

I would also be interested in doing some basic one hour practical dialogues, each with one buddy. We then might expand into three person dialogues after we establish the how-to of two person dialogues. Each dialogue will emphasize expository role playing.
