I've put up a version at http://aschweer.backpackit.com/pub/127663 --
this version is publicly viewable, but not editable. So, here's a copy
of the questions list to make it easier for you to comment on questions.
I will try to keep the online version in sync with whatever comes over
the mailing list.

It's still worthwile to check out the online version, because there are
a few more things there that I'm not posting here.

So here goes; but beware: it is a first version. I would be very
surprised if any of the questions in the final questionnaire would
actually be worded the way they are here; there are probably some
questions missing; there are probably a few questions that should be
thrown out. Any ideas? Send them to this list.


Goals of the questionnaire
-----------------------------------------------------------
  * find out how people blog
  * find out what problems exist with existing blogging tools

Questions
-----------------------------------------------------------
* which blogging tools do you use?
* do you think the tool(s) you use are optimal? (careful with phrasing
here!)
* how often do you have a cell phone with you?
* how often do you use text messages/WAP/GPRS?
* which features does the phone have (IR, bluetooth, camera, ...)
* do you have a laptop/desktop computer?
* do you have other toys (PDA, digital camera, ...)
* what do you usually blog about?
* what's your blogging behaviour (continuously/spurts/...)?
* how do you decide what to blog about?
* do you use geo location stuff in your blog? how?
* what blog software do you use (Blogger, WordPress, ...)
* have you ever used moblogging? opinions?
* where do you usually blog from (home/uni/work/...)
* if your client supports "disconnected" posting: do you use it?
* do you ever look at your own old postings?
* do you ever look at other peoples old postings?


Now it's your turn ;)

cheers,

Andrea

Oh, and: I will set up a wiki for expressions when I find the time for
it. If none of you has any problems with that, that is ;)
