InfoRadar: group and public messaging in the mobile context
TLDR
InformationRadar attempts to combine both public and in-group messaging into one system by providing a novel radar interface for accessing messages, desktop-like temporal storage for messages, location-independent message threading, filtering functionality, contextual audience addressing, multimedia messaging, social activity indicator, and voting.Abstract:
Previous research has sought to utilize everyday messaging metaphors, such as the notice board, in location-based messaging systems. Unfortunately, many of the restrictions associated with the metaphors have been unnecessarily reintroduced to interaction, and results from the previous field trials have been disheartening. InfoRadar builds on experiences with these systems by presenting improvements in user interface functionality and services. By providing a novel radar interface for accessing messages, desktop-like temporal storage for messages, location-independent message threading, filtering functionality, contextual audience addressing, multimedia messaging, social activity indicator, and voting, InfoRadar attempts to combine both public and in-group messaging into one system. A preliminary field trial indicates that location-based aspects may have a role in facilitating mobile communication, particularly when it comes to engaging in social interaction with unknown people.read more

Active construction of experience through mobile media: a field study with implications for recording and sharing
TL;DR: This analysis of the organization of experience-related activities in the mass event focuses on the active role of technology-mediated memories in constructing experiences and advocates applications that not only store or capture human experience for sharing or later use but also actively participates in the very construction of experience.

Mobile virtual communities research: a synthesis of current trends and a look at future perspectives
Christo El Morr,Jalal Kawash +1 more
TL;DR: This article is a synthesis of current research trends in mobile virtual communities and classifies Mobile Virtual Communities (MVCs) research into appropriate domains, and categorises the different types of virtual communities with respect to three criteria: the degree of virtualisation, thedegree of mobility and the level of cooperation.

Designing for privacy and self-presentation in social awareness
Mika Raento,Antti Oulasvirta +1 more
TL;DR: A number of design principles are proposed to support users in this management of privacy and presentation even if disclosure is automated, and include support for lightweight permissions, assuming reciprocity, appearing differently to different audiences, providing for feedback on presentation and allowing lying.

The Virtual Community
TL;DR: This groundbreaking classic explores the entire virtual community, beginning with a selective but probing look at the author's original online home, The Well, and questions whether a distinction between "virtual" communities and "real-life" communities is entirely valid.
