Abstract
To provide an instant message service for mobile phone users, we developed a system that enables members of a community to share their awareness information with mobile phones. Our system provides users with functions to send chat messages and set awareness information such as icons and memos in a community. We describe our observations about users' activities in a trial of our system. Based on our observations, the interaction between awareness channels and chat channels is also discussedKeywords
