Abstract :
This paper focuses on guidelines in designing platforms for collective, location-sensitive user generated content, built upon a system that allows for locating mobile subjects within the space. The process of conceptual design, design development, and technical implementation of MIT GEOblog project from a user-interaction design point of view, is used to illustrate the applicability of the guidelines. GEOblog is a web-based platform that allows people to annotate the space, through geo-tagging and sharing user generated content or, in other words, placing digital content over spatial zones that can be retrieved by others based on their real-time sensed location by the system.
