Where am I ?

What does this project is about:

-Management and visualization of contacts information
-Media management and sharing as trigger for social networking

I am about finishing my first round of user interviews, the one that will help me to define the bases for the concept.

Yesterday had I had two interviews with a reviewed protocol for the first part of the interviews:

Interview Protocol v.1.0

1.0 General Information / User
-Who are you? / can you introduce yourself?
-How old are you?
-Where do you live?, With who?
-How is a day in your life?, What are your daily activities?
-Do you have any hobby or leisure activity?
-What other interests do you have?

2.0 Social Environment / Communication
-Who are the persons you are constantly in contact with?, Why?
-Tell me about your friends
-What kind of activities do you do with your friends?
-In what kind of places do you meet with your friends?
-Why is these people important for you?
-Do you belong to any organization?, like a sports club or hobby group?
-Do you have any other regular social activity?, meetings, concerts, pubs, chats?

2.0 Physical Environment / Mobility
-where do you have to go during the week?
-Do you spend much time out of home?
-When not at home where are you?
-what kind of transport means do you use?
-Do you commute alone?
-when you leave home what do you carry always with you?
-what do you do while commuting?

Plus to this I am using two short exercises to help me visualize the physical environment and the social environment of the users.

I am also going for information of contact management: how does people keeps the information about their social circles?, where do they store this information?, what do they store?, when do they access this information?

Tomorrow (today) will be a very busy day with 3 (maybe 4 interviews) to close this stage.
