This is a non-random sampling technique where the initial respondents to a survey recruit others for a survey.
Linear snowball sampling is when the first responent recruits one more person for the survey, who in turn recruits one more person for the survey. Number of people surveyed will increase in a linear manner.
The related links provide good discussion of this form of surveying. It is a non-representative sample, but it is an effective means of surveying people with common traits who might otherwise be difficult to find.
For example, I want a statistical profile of people that are "hackers" so every hacker I find, I would ask if I could interview his "fellow hackers."
