  title = {{LoungeLog: Social Aspects of Tracking Media Consumption}},
  year = {2010},
  month = {Oct},
  abstract = {{There are currently many web services allowing people the recording (also tracking or logging)
of their own media consumption as well as sharing it in a social network. However, all existing
applications are specialized on a certain area of media, allowing users to only track a single type
of media per service, as with musical content on Last.fm5 or books on Goodreads6. The only
possibility to cover one's whole media consumption via a single service currently consists of using
generic lifelogging services such as DAYTUM7, which however have the drawback of lacking
functions tailored for media-specific use. This thesis describes the conception and implementation
of LoungeLog8, a web application trying to fill this gap and enable social tracking for one's
complete media consumption. In doing so, LoungeLog wants to simplify tracking procedure for
the different media types and at the same time create added value compared to current tracking
services by providing functions for media discovery and self-awareness that are putting data of all
media types together for interpretation. To reach this, existing tracking services and the current
state of research in social media tracking were examined. Furthermore, a post-launch user study
was conducted with LoungeLog users by which the most important areas of the service could be
identified as well as spots deemed to need improvement. While social components of the service
have already been taken and used well, users considered the areas privacy, simple tracking and
self-awareness statistics to be in greatest need of enhancements.}},
