At the last AAPOR meeting (Spring 99) there were more than 10
presentations on conducting email or internet surveys. The
topics ran the gamut from what programs do it best, to sampling
frames and the generalizability of findings from the Usenet to
the population as a whole.
The AAPOR journal is Public Opinion Quarterly and you can search
by topic at their website http://www.aapor.org/poq/ though I see
no signs of email,internet or WWW as topics. I am fairly sure
that is has been addressed in the journal recently (unfortunately
I just pack mine up for a weekend move).
It has been a point of discussion on the members only mailing
list and at previous conferences.
