Summary
We think a successful manual collection tool for personal informatics should include the following features:
- support for recording with various inputs in multiple contexts,
- easy integration of collected information into the reflection tool, and
- flexibility in supporting various types of information.
We designed and built a system called Grafitter that exhibits the above three features. First, Grafitter leverages various social media to allow recording various inputs in multiple contexts. Second, Grafitter automatically aggregates data from these various inputs into one tool for reflection. Lastly, Grafitter allows people to record various types of information with a format that is easy to remember and can be written quickly.
