Paper Abstract:      The ongoing augmentation of our everyday environment with digital artifacts and electronic sensors enables machines to observe with increasing precision a user’s interaction with the environment and contained applications. If these observations are recorded over time, then the resulting collection can become a user’s personal “digital memory”. Like a blog, such a semi-automatically built resource can be of interest for sharing information between users. With this article, we want to provide some answers to the question of how people exploit other persons’ digital memories, and how the resulting sharing behavior can be evaluated. We report about two small-scale user studies, which emphasized different aspects of the exploitation of shared personal memories in the everyday. Our report comprises a short description of a platform for collecting and sharing digital memories used in both scenarios, the study methods, and a discussion of the results. These confirm the utility of the respective sharing approaches and provide an insight to people’s expectations concerning the interaction with such a resource.
