“The internet is making me sad”
Today I received a very nice email from Linda Stone, who I met during at the PicNic Conference.
She’s was enthousiastic about our project and called it “ambitious” 
Also she asked if we were familiar with the “internet makes me sad”-research, which was done in 1998.
I’ve been receiving a lot of these very helpful tips and I would like to invite you all to keep sending them in. That really makes the research a lot better and is also in the spirit of new collaboration!
Linda, thank you very much!
