Over the past several weeks, I've learned a lot about what Weaving Today users are not doing. They're not, in the main, developing primary identity. They're not posting to blogs. They're not doing much social networking.
Then what are they doing?
Most users of Weaving Today are looking for answers to specific questions that arise in their weaving. the often look for these answers without signing in, mostly by following forum posts. If their question is unique, they may post it. This usually results in one of the "professional" Weaving Today inhabitants posting an answer, following which the user may or may not post a "thank-you." Users are spending limited time in the space. This pattern of use is consistent with theories of adult and older adult computer use, which suggest that these users are more likely to use digital resources to address particular information or task-related needs.
As soon as I finish threading this project, I'll go in search of the comfort zone I left to start this project. Maybe it's a little closer than when I last saw it.
