Results from Testing #3

The result of this testing shows the different usage
between real world and virtual world.

Question 1)
If you pass certain cyclists on the street everyday,
would you like to greet and have a chat with them?
Yes, what would you like to say to them?
I would like to talk about what they do everyday at the same
point of intersection as me.
-------------------------------------------------------
If I like their appearances, I would like have a little chat with them. I
t is not easy to pass a certain cyclist everyday,
so I would say: “Hey, we've been passing each other everyday
for three months, how are you? By the way, do you do it on purpose?”
-------------------------------------------------------
If I meet people (other cyclists) on the street,
I could make me feel more close to the real interactions,
it means that I can see their faces as human features.

No, why not?
No, it's annoying.
-------------------------------------------------------
While I am riding on the street, it means I am really going
to some places. So I don't like to shift my focus on the other things.
-------------------------------------------------------
No, the number of cyclist who I daily pass is really huge.
It's impossible for me to have some interactions with them.

Question 2)
If you got the intersection points from the same cyclist everyday,
would you like to communicate with them by leaving a comment?
Yes, what would you like to say to them?

I would like to talk about some information of the locations
where they pass by each day.
-------------------------------------------------------
It depends on my current job, it is very boring to ride
bicycle home/company by myself. So I would like to invite
some people to communicate with me. In my free time,
I occasionally ride my bike to some places far from my home.
So I would also like to make some friends via the web-site.
Then, maybe we could have some trips together.
-------------------------------------------------------
Yes. I am really interested to go anywhere by bike,
yet sometime it is not easy to find best paths to some places,
and it could be easier for me to do it by using the website.

No, why?
I wouldn't like to contact with them, because there is
no motivation/incentive for me to do that.
Actually, there is a limited profile from each member,
so that I couldn't know too much personal information from them.
