基于位置的社交网络应用程序使人们能够通过“签到”他们访问的地方来与朋友共享他们的位置以用于社交目的。先前的研究表明，隐私和印象管理都会引发位置泄露问题。在这项对 foursquare 用户的访谈研究中，我们探讨了人们对位置共享的看法及其对印象管理和形成的影响。结果表明，位置共享决策取决于签到的感知可见性，模糊了公共和私人场所之间的界限，并可能引发 foursquare 朋友网络内的紧张局势。我们引入“签到瞬态”的概念来解释影响印象管理的因素，并认为共享位置通常被用作实现社交目标的信号策略。
Location based social networking applications enable people to share their location with friends for social purposes by "checking in" to places they visit. Prior research suggests that both privacy and impression management motivate location disclosure concerns. In this interview study of foursquare users, we explore the ways people think about location sharing and its effects on impression management and formation. Results indicate that location-sharing decisions depend on the perceived visibility of the check-in, blur boundaries between public and private venues, and can initiate tensions within the foursquare friend network. We introduce the concept of "check-in transience" to explain factors contributing to impression management and argue that sharing location is often used as a signaling strategy to achieve social objectives.
