8. Instructions: The word flow is used to describe a state of mind sometimes experienced by people who are deeply involved in some activity. One example of flow is where a professional athlete is playing exceptionally well and achieves a state of mind where nothing else matters but the game; he or she is completely and totally immersed in it. The experience is not exclusive to athletics: many people report this state of mind when playing games, engaging in hobbies, or working.

Activities that lead to flow completely captivate a person for some period of time. When one is in flow, time may seem to stand still, and nothing else seems to matter. Flow may not last for a long time on any particular occasion, but it may come and go over time. Flow has been described as an intrinsically enjoyable experience.

Thinking about your own use of the brand community: do you ever think you have experienced flow in the brand community’s website?
