Introduction • Do you use a Social Networking Service (SNS)? • Many different communication channels • Twitter • Facebook • Flickr • LinkedIn
User Interfaces • Mobile devices support communication and social services through three major user interfaces: • Mobile Web Browser • Mobile Applications • Mobile Widget
New Mobile UI • LinkedUI • A new mobile UI to deliver social services and to support communication channels • Fetches and links content from existing services • Uses hypertext navigation for presentation and interaction
Two Key Ideas • Service Aggregation • Combining multiple services or communication channels in one system or UI • Hypertext Navigation • The structure of nodes and links as a medium of thinking and communication for users
User Study • 12 users (8 male, 4 female) • Recruited through a mailing list • Paid for their time
Experiment • Test the usability of the benchmark device against the device with LinkedUI • Three Tasks • Openly browse and think aloud • Follow a contact • Locate a Flickr photo and a Twitter post
Results • 11 out of 12 participants preferred LinkedUI compared to the benchmark device.
Conclusions • Users preferred the new approach • Eliminates shortcomings of web browser • Switching between apps • Delays loading web pages • Web pages not optimized for small screen • Problems • Information overload
