Affordances and Signifiers of Community Noticeboards
Nick Taylor, Keith Cheverst, Jörg Müller · Lancaster EPrints (Lancaster University) · 2009
Digital community displays pose many socio-technical challenges which must be overcome if they are to make successful contributions to a community, yet paper-based noticeboards appear spontaneously as surfaces are appropriated for notices with little or no design effort. We speculate on how this appropriation of surfaces might be harnessed to design more successful digital noticeboards.
