Threaded forum technique could be used to interview individuals.

The discussion forum software by Network54 is most often used in a forum format but I think the better use of it will be made as an interview technique. Here's an example of one the latest forums I started-- and dropped-- but it has the potential to be a point of conversation between me and one other person. [+] I might experiment by finding one person to work with on a forum like this. In general forums have become places where dominant anti-conversational sophists act as gatekeepers as in this cryonics forum. [+] In general, I think people are working too much and are too pressed for time anymore to have online conversations-- aside from not knowing how to have a conversation.
