Abstract-We address the question of how online social networks affect real world just-in-time decisions. The question is significant due to the pervasiveness of mobile devices in our just-in-time decisions and the way we are connected to our social networks across time and space at various scales, through these mobile communication channels. An empirical inquiry on mobile social influence and how these social networks impact our decisions will provide a framework for utilizing these virtual social influences to build persuasive mobile interfaces and provide timely decision aids that can help with our personal and social goals in the real world. We approach this problem through a real world experiment where we deploy mobile digital menus (Social Menu) in a restaurant and capture people's dish choices in just-in-time manner. The collected data is used to model how discrete choices are affected by the presence of physical and virtual social network information. Results show that virtual social network information though two orders of magnitude weaker than physical influence has influence on people's justin-time choices and the modality in which social information is presented affects people's decisions in the dimensions of taste, time and price.

“…We are interested in the extent to which the mobile phone can afford this reflexivity and indeed become a form of "personal scanner" of everyday life -as well as facilitating and being married with other, more traditional research techniques such as interviewing. We wish to build on the notion of "mobile probe" [9] and use mobile phones to:…”

The generation and sharing of digital content is being transformed by new advances in mobile blogging technology. Here we wish to reflect on and review blogging and pervasive image capture and sharing practices reported on in literature to gain new insights for directions into future research of moblogging practices in the course of everyday lived life. Specifically we wish to stretch recently adopted rapid ethnographic approaches (i.e. probes) and the notion of 'digital document' to gain insights into how real time capture and seamless publishing and sharing of digital content in different kinds of places (domestic, work, thirdplace and civic) may: lead to a tighter coupling between 'blog-life' and real-life; augment existing physical communities; provide opportunities for sharing content via displays; sharpen (or blur) the differences between what particular technologies are used for; reduce editing of shared content; demand different metaphors for sharing content; increase awareness of self and others; and instigate more 'economical' interactions across different channels.

“…For example, the social, ethical and possibly legal implications of asking participants to go out and use such devices to record data about their lives. Hulkko et al (2004) discovered that despite the simplicity of participants using phone cameras to document their actions, asking them to do so while shopping was quite impractical; most shops were unwilling to allow people to take such visual documentation. Similarly, those using such methods must negotiate the responsibilities of participants capturing data, particularly those that might include photos or video, of in-direct or involuntary participants who are not informed or aware of the study.…”

Mobile devices, applications and services have become integrated into people's daily lives on a personal and professional level. Although traditional research methods are being used to understand the use of mobile devices and applications, methodological challenges still exist. Researchers have responded to these challenges in a variety of ways, with an emphasis on developing methods that enable new ways of accessing, making available and collecting data about mobile technology use. This paper identifies, defines, describes and presents, a preliminary framework for understanding the methodological responses emerging in current Mobile Human Computer Interaction (Mobile HCI) research.
