Shameless plug

We’re running a user study this month in St Andrews, exploring attitudes to online privacy. If you’re in or around St Andrews in February, we’re looking for participants to carry a mobile phone around with them for a week (which we’ll provide). The phone will periodically ask participants about the extent to which they would disclose their location and current activity, to evaluate the effectiveness of a system we have developed called ‘Virtual Walls’.

As a reward, each participant will receive a £10, £20, or £50 Amazon voucher, drawn at random. The study is open to anyone in the St Andrews area – whether university staff, students, or not!

If you’ll be around from February 17th until March 2nd and are interested in participating, or would like more information, please email me at lh49 [at] st-andrews.ac.uk. We also have a Facebook page with more info about the study, which you can ‘Like’ to get updates!

Whether you’re interested in participating or not, I’d also appreciate if you can help get word out to anyone you know in St Andrews! Thanks!
