Abstract

To explore new directions for future mobile communication, we investigate users' experiences in one of the popular technology-mediated communication, Weblogs. We argue that the existing blogging activity could provide insights into users' personal needs and expectations, and suggest new directions for future mobile communication. This paper presents a preliminary study of users' blogs experience in Taiwan. A contextual inquiry with interpretation process is conducted in this study to understand the needs beneath users' blogging activities. Three key findings including personal stage, event gatherers, and extension of social intercourse, are discussed in terms of how to direct the future development of mobile technology.
