- Posters
- Â Motivation is to get rid of cruft (goods they don't need) or food quickly due to circumstances (e.g. "We don't have the Bush Room reserved past 10!")
- One poster we spoke with remarked that it would be nice to know what lists to which she could post things such that they could be claimed quickly.
- "Casual" reusers
- Incentive to use is to acquire specific items or classes of items
- Searches for items
- One casual user we spoke with was recently looking for a futon for his new room. He complained about lack of knowledge about how often futons get posted, as currently, the only thing a curious person can do is search the reuse archives.
- "Competitive" reusers
- Incentive to use is to get an edge on competition by getting served metadata in at-a-glance form
- Looks at live-updating, general map
- Uses type tagging
- Needs lots of efficiency
- One competitive use we spoke with would like better filters for when things get posted, so that he can focus on the things he is actually interested in.
