Abstract

Internet services are becoming essential in people's daily lives. They offer functionality and content that are also relevant for mobile use, as mobile devices of today are technologically sophisticated enabling online access anytime, anywhere. Unfortunately, Internet services specifically designed for mobiles utilizing their capabilities to the fullest are largely still missing. In this paper, we introduce Image Exchange, a photo sharing Internet service, that exploits two essential things that a mobile device has to offer: a personal identifier (a user's phone number) and social network (phonebook contacts). We evaluated Image Exchange in a field study and the results show that the current design is a good starting point but needs to be extended to enable a truly social photo sharing service.
