Abstract: The convergence of communication and imaging capabilities in a single device, the camera phone, is changing the way people take, share and communicate around pictures.

Each system focuses on informal, casual and lightweight solutions for multimedia storytelling and conversation. We conducted small preliminary pilot studies that revealed interesting patterns of use of the media within social networks, which we plan on investigating further.
