“…They highlighted that the search for information is poorly supported by most systems because these systems tend to treat each query as an isolated event. Therefore, there is a need for a mobile application that can support such interactions and provide resources to users in a comprehensive manner (Counts & Fisher, ).

With the increasing importance of social media in people's lives, more mobile applications have incorporated features to support social networking activities. These applications enable communication between people, using features such as chatting and blogging. There is, however, little consideration of the collaboration between people during information seeking. Mobile applications should support the seeking, sharing, confirming, and validating of information systematically to help users complete their tasks and fulfill their information needs. To support information seeking, especially collaboratively as a group, there is a need to understand people's social interaction behavior. Using tourism as a domain, we conducted a diary study to look into tourists' social interaction during information seeking. Further, based on the diary study findings and current research, we describe a set of triggers that lead to collaboration for each step in the information-seeking process. Here we present the social collaboration patterns between tourists and the people around them. Further, based on a diary study and current research, we describe a set of triggers that lead to collaboration for each step in the BIG6 information-seeking process.

Social media is a social space for communication between people that share common activities, hobbies, interests and lifestyle. Activity tracking apps allow sharing of user activity summary results or instantiated activity events or milestones, both as a motivation factor and for collaborative approach to activity methods, i.e. team effect. Social media posts are the major channel that such information, in several contextual forms, as well as other types of related posts, are made available to users. This work reports on the level of effect on the interest and motivation towards healthy living that such social information applies to casual social media users. The type of input enrichment is investigated to that effect.
