Abstract
This paper describes an interview study investigating the collaborative information-seeking and - sharing practices of a global software testing team. A site located in Europe was used as a temporal bridge to help in managing time zone differences between the US, China and India. All sites utilized this bridge for critical, synchronous information seeking. Interviews suggest that bridging can be a taxing job and that the success of the bridging arrangement depended upon an intricate balance of temporal, infrastructure and cultural factors Copyright © 2007 Allen Milewski, Marilyn Tremaine, Richard Egan, Suling Zhang, Felix Köbler, Patrick O'Sullivan and IBM Corp.
