I think one thing to keep in mind though is that these data gathering exercises are inherently biased to the narrow environment that they are conducted in, and it can be hard to draw general conclusions about them. When I was at CoNEXT they were doing the same study, but the data that they would be gathering would only pertain to how participants at a networking conference interact — trying to extend the data to other interaction patterns would be very difficult. I think these studies are a good start, but to really pertain to a wide audience they must enroll participants outside of our narrow field.
