“…In terms of privacy, similar to our findings in [14] the authors concluded that users had few privacy concerns when using an LBS system. This is contrary to previous works [17,18] where it has been found that privacy implications can be a barrier on the adoption of such services.…”

“…Early work in the Reno system [13] considers the involvement of the user in disclosing location to their friends. In [14], the authors investigate how and why people use LBS, concluding that main reason that LBS are popular is that they provide both elements of fun and added value to the user. Other studies in the field of social networks show similar findings [15,16].…”

Abstract. The increasing popularity of location based social services such as Facebook Places, Foursquare and Google Latitude, solicits a new trend in fusing social networking with real world sensing. The availability of a wide range of sensing technologies in our everyday environment presents an opportunity to further enrich social networking systems with fine-grained real-world sensing. However, the introduction of passive sensing into a social networking application disrupts the traditional, user-initiated input to social services, raising both privacy and acceptability concerns. In this work we present an empirical study of the introduction of a sensor-driven social sharing application within the working environment of a research institution. Our study is based on a real deployment of a system that involves location tracking, conversation monitoring, and interaction with physical objects. By utilizing surveys, interviews and experience sampling techniques, we report on our findings regarding privacy and user experience issues, and significant factors that can affect acceptability of such services by the users. Our results suggest that such systems deliver significant value in the form of self reflection and comparison with others, while privacy concerns are raised primarily by the limited control over the way individuals are projected to their peers.

“…Check-in apps emerged around 2003 to enable a virtual social experience anchored around physical places [26]. These apps allow users to broadcast their presence at venues, that is, the places they go to.…”

“…Journeys & Notes extends the concept of a check-in [26,15] beyond fixed-point venues, allowing users to check-in to the journeys they take. By specifying the endpoints of their journey and their mode of travel, users unlock a virtual social experience where they interact with other travellers also on the journey, discover notes that others travellers have left along the way, and they can leave behind their own notes for others to find.…”

“…Just as place based check-in applications use selfquantification and gamification as motivating forces that drive usage [26,40,15], we believe there are similar opportunities for non-place based check-ins. First, inspired by a similar feature Foursquare used to have, we give people the title of "trailblazer" when they are the first to check-in to a journey that no one else has checked-in to before.…”

In this work we present a mobile application we designed and engineered to enable people to log their travels near and far, leave notes behind, and build a community around spaces in between destinations. Our design explores new ground for location-based social computing systems, identifying opportunities where these systems can foster the growth of on-line communities rooted at non-places. In our work we develop, explore, and evaluate several innovative features designed around four usage scenarios: daily commuting, long-distance traveling, quantified traveling, and journaling. We present the results of two small-scale user studies, and one large-scale, world-wide deployment, synthesizing the results as potential opportunities and lessons learned in designing social computing for non-places.

Mobile social networks are services accessed through mobile devices that enable users to connect with others and share information, images, content, and news. Early mobile social networks began in the late 1990s and facilitate social interaction in public spaces. Research on mobile social networks draws primarily on media sociology, critical theory of media, and design studies. Key tensions addressed in mobile social network research surround sociality, sense of place, and privacy. Topical areas of research on mobile social networks focus on social identity and collective action, pervasive computing, and gaming. Future areas for development and exploration include the combining of interpersonal communication and media theories, commercialization of data and networks, historical comparisons, and privacy.
