Dear,

Hello, let me make a brief introduction at first. My name is Youran 
Wang. As a graduate student now studying in Humboldt University of 
Berlin, I am in the master programme named Digital Curation. Recently we 
have been working on a mini project for research method practice, the 
topic is about users' personal information preservation in social 
networking services. I will gladly appreciate your kind help if you 
could spend a little time to participate in my simple investigation by 
answering 10 following questions. There is not any limitation on your 
answers and any kind of the idea will be acceptable, such as stories, 
experiences, suggestions, queries, doubts, etc.

Questions:
1. How do you usually deal with your personal information* that you 
created in Facebook?
2. Do you think those kinds of personal information are your 
intellectual products? Why?
3. Do you want to preserve them in time for future use? Why?
4. What are your main concerns for your existent personal information in 
Facebook?
5. How will you retrieve your personal information in Facebook when 
years later?
6. How do you integrate your personal information which are separated 
among those different types and formats?
7. Do your trust your hard disk for your personal information 
preservation, or prefer to store your personal information on the Cloud?
8. What services do your know for preserving your personal information 
in Facebook?
9. What services did your ever use to preserve your personal information 
in Facebook?
10. What are the advantages and disadvantages of that, according to your 
demands?

* The term“personal information” here we define as the information which 
is directly created from people's online communication behaviors in 
social networking services, such as posted photos, videos, audios and 
texts, conversation records and other kinds of information communication 
records.

Any piece of information from you is welcome, and I am looking forward 
to your reply.

Best regards,

Youran Wang
