This is just a quick heads up on the results that came out of the questionnaire I've sent out to all guides in the Mediamatic Travel project.
- It seems to be that friends and family play a big part in informing guides about the Mediamatic Travel project. Internet is the second player in the promotion of the Travel-site. To me, this information stresses the importance of inviting your network. It also shows we are not doing enough to promote the travel-site by Mediamatic.net, the magazine, the media or work.
- The most important reasons for guides to keep participating are 'promoting my own projects' and 'informing people about the underground culture'. There are guides that would rather promote their project and not necessarily guide others.
- Everybody would like to have the contributions 'Place' and 'Cafe' added. Also almost everybody has difficulties adding the location to their contributions.
- Guides are specifically asking for more communication tools. They want a visible comment bar in their guidepage, some sort of feedback section and tools for promoting themselves.
- Finally I could distinguish between 4 types of users: spectators, visitors, contributors and guides. For a profound explanation of the four types, please check out my final paper in About.
Mind that these results are preliminary result. To see the actual questionnaire, click here.
