ABSTRACT
This paper describes a case study of using Cultural Probes in an early stage of a 'research-through-design' project aiming at innovations in social media. We discuss our rationale and process of designing the cultural probes, along with the method developed for interpreting the responses. Finally, we present some of the insights gathered and how these lead to ideation.
