I interviewed with three people, one boy and two girls, who are from Taiwan and study master degree at Denmark now about their internet usage behavior. They have been addicted to internet for more than 5 years and surfing internet is the routine every day . The main applications they use is BBS (Bullet Board System http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletin_board_system) which is super popular in Taiwan's college students and has existed for 15 years. It has its own sub-culture and they often invent new proper noun. The repondants also use some popular social network applications such as facebook and blog.
Here are the quotes:
"My new boy friend and I host a new board on BBS to collect our memory"
"I love to share information on bbs than facebook or blog, because it is faster to deliver information"
"I don't have time to see NBA live on TV, so I will see NBA board on BBS where lots of people will live broadcast through post"
"When there is live NBA game, lots of people will share the free link, watch online together and discuss. It is super interesting to watch them arguing"
"I can't help eliminating the new article sign of the board"
"When I browse the article, I will start from most responded one"
"Facebook is the place gathering friends' information"
"The most amazing board on BBS is beauty board. For example, some one saw a beauty at architecture department and post it on board. There are always someone know the girl"
"I like the group shopping board. We buy goods together for cheaper price with strangers"
"I like facebook can tag people on photo. It is great to collect my memory"
"The great restaurant board on BBS is my favorite. Once people found new restaurant near the school. There are always lots of people provide reviews"
"After using BBS for three years, I only brows my friends board now"
