title = "Sharing awareness information improves interruption timing and social attraction",
abstract = "In distant collaborations, interruptions increase significantly due to the limited awareness of colleagues' availability. In this paper we evaluate OpenMessenger, an instant messaging prototype that provides awareness information. Results suggest that the use of OM benefits group task performance and the social attraction developed between group members. Experiment observation also suggests that people use OM both to predict their partner's availability and to explain the causes of their partner's late response.",
