Ubiquitous videos are commonly produced byusers with devices containing cameras, typically connectedto wireless networks. An increasing number of web-basedvideo repositories provide facilities for users to upload, shareand comment user-generated content. Ubiquitous computingapplications may be exploited in this scenario to allow users to experience novel forms of social interactions. The literaturepresents guidelines and metrics for the evaluation of thesociability in online video applications, but the evaluation ofthe underlying social interactions have not been reported. Observing that social interactions can specified as behavioralcontingencies, i.e., modeled as if-then rules which describe what people do, and measured using data mining procedures, we have been investigating a novel technique for codifying and evaluating social interactions. In this paper we report results from applying our technique in a user study involving the synchronous and asynchronous sharing of collaborative annotations on ubi-videos: we could clearly observe the frequency use support and utility measures.
