I was talking to someone recently who had heard that there are cultural differences in the amount of usage of discussion boards. In particular, she heard that discussion boards are not as frequently used in Europe as they are in the US, in general. Since we want to encourage adoption of discussion boards on the company intranet, I'm interested to hear if anyone has info on:
The frequency of use of discussion boards, varied by region The adoption of discussion boards on a company intranet, especially if there are cultural differences Any differences people have noticed when testing discussion boards with a mix of regions or cultures represented The features we're looking at are pretty typical (posting and replying to discussions or questions) so my gut feel is that there probably isn't a huge difference, but I'm trying to figure out how important it is to make region one of our variables for testing.
