Abstract

In this paper we introduce WiMo, a location-based social networking tool that enables users to share and store their emotional feelings about places. WiMo creates a mobile social network based on common interests and enables users to share not just information but also opinions, experiences and passions. The application uses a geo-emotional tagging system running on a GPS enabled mobile phone to ascribe emotions to places. In this paper we describe the development of an emotion tagging interface and present a case study scenario to situate the application in a real world setting. We then describe work-in-progress on the development of the WiMo prototype interface, and the interaction process for users. We further outline the features of the system and finally discuss next steps in the development of the application.
