  1. Posters
    1.  Motivation is to get rid of cruft (goods they don't need) or food quickly due to circumstances (e.g. "We don't have the Bush Room reserved past 10!")
    2. One poster we spoke with remarked that it would be nice to know what lists to which she could post things such that they could be claimed quickly.
  2. "Casual" reusers
    1. Incentive to use is to acquire specific items or classes of items
    2. Searches for items
    3. One casual user we spoke with was recently looking for a futon for his new room. He complained about lack of knowledge about how often futons get posted, as currently, the only thing a curious person can do is search the reuse archives.
  3. "Competitive" reusers
    1. Incentive to use is to get an edge on competition by getting served metadata in at-a-glance form
    2. Looks at live-updating, general map
    3. Uses type tagging
    4. Needs lots of efficiency
    5. One competitive use we spoke with would like better filters for when things get posted, so that he can focus on the things he is actually interested in.
