Abstract

This paper explores the collaborative context, i.e. consolidated data summarizing context information for groups of people, in social media. The results are based on a user study combining an analysis of actual personal social media content, in-depth interviews and a triggered ESM (experience sampling method) inspired diary study. The results indicate that collaborative context data has the potential to increase the interest level of status updates. It offers possibility for summary representations of groups, and can be used as a possible source of motivation and inspiration arising from activities or behavior of a predefined group of peers.
