Abstract

Social media is a social space for communication between people that share common activities, hobbies, interests and lifestyle. Activity tracking apps allow sharing of user activity summary results or instantiated activity events or milestones, both as a motivation factor and for collaborative approach to activity methods, i.e. team effect. Social media posts are the major channel that such information, in several contextual forms, as well as other types of related posts, are made available to users. This work reports on the level of effect on the interest and motivation towards healthy living that such social information applies to casual social media users. The type of input enrichment is investigated to that effect.
