Summary/Abstract: A group interview (its classical form, i.e. interview in which there is a direct contact between respondents and moderator) is the main method employed in qualitative marketing research. Therefore it is not surprising that most cases of transferring the qualitative research methods to the virtual space precisely concern the method of group interview. The author of the article notices that as a result of these attempts this method, however, loses (to a much greater extent than the IDI method which is moved to the Internet) a lot of its key attributes which determine the specificity of the method and its belonging to the categories of group interviews and qualitative research methods (and in the case of its two types based on written communication, it seems they lose even crucial attibutes to call them an interview).
