But many social networking services fail. Why?

• Many social networking services fail because they dealwith just people only

• Jyri Engestrom: “social networks consist of people whoare connected by a shared object” which he calls object-centred sociality

http://www.zengestrom.com/blog/2005/04/why-some-social-network-services-work-and-others-dont-or-the-case-for-object-centered-sociality.html

•Problem: How to use the resources in the physicalenvironment (like the office) to help facilitate socialnetworking and vice versa

4. Tom never met her, but maybe his friends

met her, so he searches his social network

3. Tom zooms in on the map to find out that she is Zhao

Feng, taps ZhaoF to see if he has met her before

5. Ah, Zhao Feng was the UI manager at the

meeting last week with his colleague Wang, which he could not

make it!

?

Thanks Nokia, I will never forget a

person again!

2. Tom uses his phone to find out who that

lady is

1. Tom seems to recognize a lady while walking in the hallway but

can’t remember if he met her
