Social Spontaneity

User Folio

On detection, the Nokia Sensor users are alerted and may view each other's personal pages (folios). The content of a folio is defined in advance by the Nokia Sensor user and may contain information such as: a digital photo of the user; a username; a short personal description^[2] (job, pastimes).

The folio also contains a 'guestbook' where other users may post and read textual entries.
