ABSTRACT A CONVERSATION CENTRIC APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING AND SUPPORTING THE COORDINATION OF SOCIAL GROUP-ACTIVITIES by Richard P. Schuler III Despite the widespread and large variety of communication tools available to us such as, text messaging, Skype, email, twitter, Facebook, instant messaging, GroupMe, WhatsApp, Snapchat, etc., many people still routinely find coordinating activities with our friends to be a very frustrating experience. Everyone, has at least once, encountered the difficulties involved with deciding what to do as a group. Some friends may be busy, others may have already seen the movie that the others want to see, and some do not like Mexican food. It is a challenge everyone has faced and continue to face. This is a result of system designers and researchers primarily focusing on understanding and supporting workplace coordination. This workplace bias has led to an assumption that the same technologies employed to facilitate workplace coordination can easily transfer to social coordination. This has created a divergence between how people actually communicate and coordinate for social reasons versus how the systems and technologies developed to support such coordination and communication are designed. As a result, researchers and designers are faced with dearth of knowledge about how to design and research systems that support people engaging in coordination and communication for more social reasons. This dissertation moves beyond previous work, both academic and commercial, which has either focused on providing structured and process oriented communication and coordination support or on the creation of yet another text chat. This research focuses on a narrower aspect of social communication and coordination, specifically, the problem of social group-activity coordination. Generally, this is the stuff people do to coordinate going out to dinner or the movies with a group of friends. This area has been under researched and as personal experience informs, poorly supported. This dissertation contains four main contributions. First, a diary study of 37 young adults aged 18 to 28 investigated the current social group-activity coordination practices resulting in an expansion of the knowledge about how social groups coordinate social group-activities and what technologies people use and why. Second, via iterative design and testing following a research through design methodology the design space for social group-activity coordination is explored over multiple design iterations. This results in the design and instantiation of a social group-activity coordination support tool improving understanding of the design requirements of tools that support social group-activity coordination. Third, a quantitative survey which confirmed many of the findings discovered during the dairy study. Fourth, the tool is evaluated in a laboratory study with 84 participants during 21 sessions. This study finds that using the conversation centric design perspective presented in this dissertation it is possible to reduce information overload and support consensus building. Also, the features provided are overwhelmingly desired with 91.4% of the participants desiring the ability and interface to make suggestions about important activity details (vs open chat) and two-thirds of the participants reporting they would prefer to use this tool over text messaging. The combination of all these different investigations into social group-activity coordination extends the knowledge about how to improve the support of social group- activity coordination and move beyond the process and systems oriented perspectives and towards conversation centric designs.

  • Facebook Response to the ACCC's Digital Platform Services Inquiry
    Facebook response to the ACCC’s Digital Platform Services Inquiry September 2020 Interim Report 8 March 2021 Executive Summary The growth in the use of messaging apps (private messaging services as referred to in the Digital Platform Services Inquiry (D SPI) Interim Report September 2020 (I nterim Report )) has been one of the key trends of the digital ecosystem in recent years, and this has accelerated during the COVID 19 pandemic as many families, friends and workplaces have used small group conversations and direct messaging to stay in touch. Many different competitive solutions have been developed to respond to this consumer demand - whether it is pre-installed and default messaging apps like iMessage and Android Messages which also have exclusive access to support SMS as well as their own proprietary protocols (along with similar device maker SMS solutions); the wide variety of downloadable apps offering messaging services such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Snapchat, Discord, TikTok, Twitch or Google Chat (among others); or enterprise platforms such as Slack, Teams and Google Hangouts. Given the important role that messaging apps play in keeping Australian households connected and work colleagues productive, the inquiry as part of the DPSI by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission ( ACCC ) into private messaging is timely. Following the release of the Interim Report, Facebook provides this submission in order to set forth its concerns with the conclusions reached in the Interim Report. In the Interim Report, the ACCC finds that Facebook’s online private messaging services (Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp) are not “competitively constrained” by other private messaging services, implying that - even though there is a broad array of competing private messaging services - they do not provide effective competition against Facebook’s services.

  • Apps & Online Platforms
    Apps & Online Platforms Options to Interact with Children & Young Adults Apps and Platforms: A Range of Options CASA of Franklin County understands that 2020 has been a unique challenge and we continue to look for creative ways to interact with our children online. CASA GALs come from different generations, careers, and backgrounds. We know not everyone is a technical wiz and that new online tools can be difficult to learn and use, so CASA created this handy user-guide. Most are entirely free, and others are a monthly subscription. While CASA cannot provide funding for specific apps at this time, we still wanted to include a range of options to show GALs what is possible, as some features in paid apps can be replicated by the GAL in free apps. Notices and Disclaimers: While CASA of Franklin County has created this Apps & Platforms user guide, we are not endorsing or recommending any one program over another: every GAL uses different tools and has different virtual comfort levels. Additionally, CASA of Franklin County, National CASA/GAL Association for Children, Ohio CASA, Franklin County Board of Commissioners, or Franklin County Court of Common Pleas are not proponents of, and do not recommend or endorse these Apps & Platforms. If a GAL wishes to interact with the child(ren) they work with on these platforms, they must first seek the permission of the child(ren)’s custodian and notice to the caregiver. As with all use of personal devices, the GAL remains responsible for ensuring that GAL communications are confidential. GALs may not record virtual interactions with children and must ensure that location and security settings are calculated to maintain confidentiality.

In addition to group messaging, fellow group members can be messaged directly. GroupMe is available for most platforms, lets you share links, images, and locations, and messages can be favorited (or “liked”). You can read more about GroupMe, but the best part about it is that they provide an API! The GroupMe API is documented, but there are some notable omissions. Many of the properties of groups and messages are not documented, and some features are only hinted at by the documentation. Regardless, all of the infor- mation about your groups, their members, their messages, you, and your bots can be obtained through the GroupMe API. You can read the API documentation for more (or less) detailed information.

  • A New Era of Workplace Communications: Will You Lead Or Be Left Behind?
    A NEW ERA OF WORKPLACE COMMUNICATIONS: WILL YOU LEAD OR BE LEFT BEHIND? A No Jitter Industry Insights Report Sponsored by Executive Summary As companies look to institute new strategies for business communications, team messaging and collaboration applications are increasingly becoming important elements of a broader strategy. Results from the No Jitter 2018 Team Collaboration Survey bear this out. Of the 160 primarily U.S.-based enterprise IT professionals who participated in the survey, more than 95% say team messaging and collaboration apps are a necessary component of their future communications strategy. Forty-one percent of respondents were from companies with 1,000+ employees, 43% were from companies with between 100 and 999 employees, and 16% were from companies with fewer than 100 employees.

Today’s knowledge workers are more distributed, highly mobile, and expect to have communications and collaboration capabilities at their fingertips. But the expectations are changing: being able to shoot off a text, send an email, or ring a business colleague from a smartphone no longer suffices.
