Recent research shows that there has been increased interest in investigating the role of mood and emotions in the HCI domain. Our moods, however, are complex. They are affected by many dynamic factors and can change multiple times throughout each day. Furthermore, our mood can have significant implications in terms of our experiences, our actions and most importantly on our interactions with other people. We have developed MobiMood, a proof-of-concept social mobile application that enables groups of friends to share their moods with each other. In this paper, we present the results of an exploratory field study of MobiMood, focusing on explicit mood sharing in-situ. Our results highlight that certain contextual factors had an effect on mood and the interpretation of moods. Furthermore, mood sharing and mood awareness appear to be good springboards for conversations and increased communication among users. These and other findings lead to a number of key implications in the design of mobile social awareness applications.
