  2. Does your use of the medium change over time? Why?
  3. What types of things would you prefer to use other media for? Why?
  4. What categories can you use to sort the data?
  5. Does analyzing the data reveal anything about the content of the data (such as the content analysis described in the Strategies section above)?
  6. Are there people whom you talk to primarily in this medium rather than others? Are there people whom you don’t talk to with this medium? Why?
