Abstract

In this paper, we highlight an example of appropriation of technology. Based on our five interrelated studies, we revealed how a remote asynchronous photo sharing application has been appropriated by an expatriate community to support their local social interaction. In particular, while photologs appear to have been designed to facilitate remote sharing of photographs with friends and family far away, in fact we found that a substantial area of use is to support more local interactions. Some design recommendations are proposed based on this knowledge.
