Abstract

This paper describes our early work on design and development to support photolurking. Photolurking is browsing and looking at people's photographs without participating in discussion or addressing the owner of the photographs or photologs, whilst still discussing them in other avenues. We suggest several recommendations, including supporting ad-hoc instantaneous sharing, having remote and live discussion with groups of friends, and fostering collaborative experience. Having said that, the aim of this paper is not to propose an ideal application for supporting photolurking, but rather to provide an instance of how findings and analysis from ethnographic studies can feed into practical design.
