“…New media technologies and LBSN allow the self to the drawn-out and presented in innovative and interesting ways (Cramer, et al, 2011;Schwartz and Halegoua, 2015). As Hoskins [16] explains, '[smart phones] and other highly portable devices act as prosthetic nodes that extend the self across an array of communication and consumptions networks, personal and public'.…”

Locative mobile media and time: Foursquare and technological memory

Foursquare is a location-based social network (LBSN) that can be used to explore locations and mark one’s movements in the form of ‘check-ins’. This paper investigates why some Foursquare users are choosing to record their locational past, and in so doing using it as a ‘mediated memory object’ (Dijck, 2009). The paper explores the different ways users then interact with their preserved spatial pasts, owing to Foursquare’s mode of preservation. A close engagement with phenomenological theory on the importance of engagement with technology and technicity as a shaping force on the experience of time conceptualises the use of Foursquare as a memory object. The functionality of Foursquare is positioned as a key element in how the location-based social network is significantly different from older memory related practices, as well as signalling its importance for the individuals that employ Foursquare in this manner.

“…Others issues related to the sharing of location, such as the impact on identity, have also been considered (Cramer, et al, 2011;Schwartz and Halegoua, 2015), but to a much lesser extent. The temporal dimension, however, has not received the same degree of scholarly circumspection.…”

Numerous studies have tracked people's everyday use of digital devices, but without consideration of how such data might be of personal interest to the user. We have developed a personal tracking application that enables users to automatically monitor their 'screen time' on mobile devices (iOS and Android) and computers (Mac and Windows). The application interface enables users to combine screen time data from multiple devices. We trialled the application for 28+ days with 21 users, collecting log data and interviewing each user. We found that there is interest in personal tracking in this area, but that the study participants were less interested in quantifying their overall screen time than in gaining data about their use of specific devices and applications. We found that personal tracking of device use is desirable for goals including: increasing productivity, disciplining device use, and cutting down on use.

“…Our concern is that the prominence of 'traditional' location-sharing motivations such as social capital building and impression management, particularly among participants who received less feedback, suggests people may treat such applications in the same manner as any other social-driven location-sharing system, despite sensitive information being disclosed to advertisers, and the possibility that their social network will perceive incentivised check-ins to be of lower value [4]. When participants received clear feedback about the use of their personal information at the point of disclosure, they make slightly fewer disclosures, and while disclosures are still often socially motivated, they often constitute a deliberate effort to advertise that business to their social network.…”

“…In particular Kelley et al study the sharing of location with advertisers [10] with a user study of 27 participants, although this is not the ILS form of advertising that we study here. Other work has also examined incentives and location-sharing, e.g., Cramer et al identify emergent norms in the use of Foursquare, with location disclosures motivated by a desire to share interesting events as an impression management technique, and sometimes to endorse local businesses [4]. More recently, Patil et al find increased rates of incentivised disclosures, with many people disclosing their location to receive rewards such as discounts or coupons [18].…”

Social network sites, location-sharing services and, more recently, applications enabling the quantified self, mean that people are generating and sharing more data than ever before. It is important to understand the potential privacy impacts when such personal data are commercialised, to ensure that expectations of privacy are preserved.This paper presents the first user study of incentivised location sharing, where people are given a direct monetary incentive to share their location with a business or their social network. We use Nissenbaum's framework of contextual integrity in a preliminary user study (n=22) to investigate potential privacy risks with such services. We find that monetisation changes why people share their data, but not the frequency of disclosures. Our results motivate further study and are useful for designers of location-sharing systems and researchers who wish to leverage the diverse range of personal data that are available in a privacy-sensitive manner.
