We begin the series by speaking to a user, Dalia G., who describes
herself as a well educated, single Mom of 3, who has a full time job with a non-profit
organization that advocates for individuals with disabilities. And while she herself is wheel chair bound, due
to a diagnosis of Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM), that
certainly doesn’t stop her from staying active with her children and giving back
to her community. Furthermore and
in honor and celebration of the 25th anniversary of
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) this year, the Plum team wishes to
express our heartfelt gratitude to Dalia G., for her time, candid perspective and insight on the value of
Plum.
We began our discussion by reviewing the two primary
components of Plum. The first being the
tool bar, located at the bottom right corner, and the second being the Web App
itself.

Upon review of the features, Dalia G., shared that she really liked the idea of Plum giving the
user the option to “share your thoughts,” either anonymously or under your self-created
Plum User Name.
“Share your thoughts is a great feature and one that
separates Plum from other channels available today. Simply stated, there are just some things
that you want to ask someone that you may not want to self-identify yourself on.”
During the course of this interview, Dalia G., shared how she could see real
value in using Plum for specific topics such as finding a great jam recipe, for
her child’s 4-H Fair Project, or in a professional self-improvement scenario, such
as preparing for that next job interview. “You can
use Plum for just about anything you can dream up!”
Now, we just need for more Users to sign up so that we can improve and
increase our chances of finding more people like us.
