According to Sedwick (2004), “the Internet is gaining in popularity as a research tool through the use of e-mail and theWorld Wide Web” (p. 35). Most people who use e-mail or “surf the Web” have received a solicitation to complete some type of web-based survey. Many of the early web-based surveys were from companies conducting marketing research. However, as noted by Siah (2005), “the speed, ease and cost of conducting an internet-based study has attracted an increasingly large number of researchers to the medium for data collection” (p. 115).
