Hi David
Just completed and given some examples of use...
Assumed that Twittering while at work wasn't distracting... I was twittering about work and with other GA 'colleagues' who were elsewhere in the UK though....

Thanks David. I hope I've done this OK now.

Hi Dorothy

For the second part of the 'one day diary' (Q4), I am looking for some analysis about the use of up to four methods of online communication in relation to what is happening in the respondent's 'real' physical space eg room, at the time.

So, for example, if one was posting to Twitter while writing a progress report, did the communication have any relevance to this task; did it, I suppose, distract; and did the communication involve those in the room or only yourself?

[Dorothy]

I've done the first bit but feeling a bit of a dunce as I don't really understand the statements in the second question. Could you give me some hints please? Thanks.

Hi David,
That’s me done part 7. Have tried to give examples of use in the last box.

Cheers,
