“…One of their downsides is that users need to ensure that all their plans are captured in their calendars. Moreover, they need to explicitly allow others to access their schedules [14] and by doing so, users automatically disclose personal availability patterns [24]. Although most systems enable users to hide any detailed information (e.g., the occasion of an event) researchers have raised concerns over people's privacy [24].…”

“…Palen [35,36] conducted a study of the use of groupware calendars at Sun Microsystems, and found that users were willing to share information about their availabilities if it benefited the scheduling process within their group. Geyer et al [14] investigated the use of a social calendar that combined calendaring and microblogging within IBM. Similarly to Palen's findings, they concluded that users were willing to share most of their availability information within the enterprise.…”

Event scheduling is a group decision-making process in which social dynamics influence people's choices and the overall outcome. As a result, scheduling is not simply a matter of finding a mutually agreeable time, but a process that is shaped by social norms and values, which can highly vary between countries. To investigate the influence of national culture on people's scheduling behavior we analyzed more than 1.5 million Doodle date/time polls from 211 countries. We found strong correlations between characteristics of national culture and several behavioral phenomena, such as that poll participants from collectivist countries respond earlier, agree to fewer options but find more consensus than predominantly individualist societies. Our study provides empirical evidence of behavioral differences in group decision-making and time perception with implications for cross-cultural collaborative work.

Existing enterprise calendaring systems have suffered from problems like rigidity, lack of transparency, and poor integration with social networks. We present the system design and rationale for a novel social coordination mechanism, called "Suggestions," that addresses these issues. Our system integrates ideas drawn from designs of lightweight polling systems and one's social network into an open calendar tool, providing a space for users to coordinate, socialize around, or negotiate the "what" and the "when" of their events. Suggestions was released inside a large enterprise setting, where initial interviews revealed users' thoughts on transparent scheduling, reaching wider audiences and task appropriateness, and suggested ways to improve our design.

In this paper we present the system design and rational for a novel activity-oriented social networking site called Dig-Event. This system extends our previous work on event based consumer mashups and is inspired by research on popular social network applications. Dig-Event provides an open, social space for users to share events and discover the activity of mutual interest among social contacts like schoolmates, families, friends and colleagues. It allows users to share their activities to the customized social circle, conduct events by selecting activity-based gadgets, and socialize around them. The features of event recommendation and integration with existing social networks further boost the event socialization experience.
