... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested.

Broos, Martin, Gammeren, Philippe van, Steenoven, Tim van and Haan, Geert de (2011): Creating a context-aware mobile application to enlarge social cohesion: skating together. In: Proceedings of the 2011 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2011. pp. 261-262.

This research is aimed at creating an application that adapts to its environment and brings people together. The question is whether this feasible for an audience that is not directly associated with social media products. A concept and a prototype have been developed as proof of concept that social applications can and should be build by focusing on the factors which determine social cohesion of the target audience. Context-awareness may increase the value of an app to its users thereby increasing the social cohesion in the community. Context-awareness also provides the data which enables designers to continue improving the usability of the design.
