The paper highlights the effects of an IT-based tool on people's everyday activities when sharing a common interest. The basic aspect is practical knowledge, which will be approached from an individual viewpoint. It describes how the people concerned enriched their knowledge of their shared interest by shaping their concepts and how they made good progress with the help of an information system of their own making. The research shows that an information system can assist its users' thinking in many ways, and can thus be one of the crucial factors in the knowledge-enriching process. The paper emphasizes the weight of practical knowledge within this research topic, which is not so widely known and has been insufficiently examined as yet, in spite of the increasing popularity of IT-based tools in every sector of human life.
