Our session happens today (11/17) on Gather.town at 1pm (PT), I’ll be around if people like to chat, or feel free to reach out through email if you’re interested! Been thinking a lot about activity tracking data sharing on social media, cross-posting on different social platforms, and in general design of social computing systems to support sharing lately, especially seeing the migration happening here.

SnapPI: Understanding Everyday Use of Personal Informatics Data Stickers on Ephemeral Social Media

YouTube
We saw interesting usage of stickers from our participants to share personal activity tracking data, such as fabricating the data with unusually high/low numbers to be expressive, or visually aligning the data sharing with the general theme through domain-specific stickers’ visual elements. Our work pointed to the importance of aligning form of data sharing with platform norms, and enabling flexibility in data presentation to help reach personal communication goals.
We studied how to support utilizing ephemeral social platforms for sharing personal activity tracking data, and did so by deploying SnapPI, an app that supports creating customizable stickers driven by personal data to be embedded in messages and stories on Snapchat.
While figuring out Mastodon, thought it might be a great first post to share our (w/ Marawin, Siyun, Ryan, and @depstein) #CSCW2022 work on studying the everyday use of personal Informatics data stickers on ephemeral social media!
