MoSoSo for Developing Countries: We are currently exploring the creation of mobile social software (MoSoSo) applications for the developing world and underserved communities by using a user-centered and participatory design approach. Recent work focuses on the country of Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia and investigates how individuals negotiate and reciprocate relationships within their social networks in order to overcome challenges of everyday life. |
