This practice suggests a potentially useful capability that technology may support more directly. We present such a social location disclosure service, Reno, designed for use on a common mobile phone platform. We describe the guiding principles that dictate parameters for creating a usable, useful and ubiquitous service and we report on a pilot study of use of Reno for a realistic social network. Our preliminary results reveal the competing factors for a system that facilitates both manual and automatic location disclosure, and the role social context plays in making such a lightweight communication solution work.}, publisher = {Springer Verlag}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/social-disclosure-of-place-from-location-technology-to-communication-practices/}, volume = {3468}, edition = {Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Pervasive Computing (Pervasive 2005)}, }
