When conventions collide: the tensions of instant messaging attributed
CHI '02: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

We discuss findings from observation, interviews, and textual analysis of instant messaging use in a university research lab setting. We propose a method for characterizing the tensions that permeate instant messaging texts and that expose the collision ...
Awareness of presence, instant messaging and WebWho

We report from a study of how awareness of presence can affect instant messaging behavior. WebWho is a web based awareness system that visualizes where people are located in a large university computer lab. It allows students to virtually locate one ...
Lightweight selective availability in instant messaging
CHI EA '10: CHI '10 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Selective availability in instant messaging systems can improve connectiveness while at the same time keeping disruption low. In this paper we report on a four-week experience sampling study of selective availability in instant messaging to inform the ...
