Title: Social Interaction in the Sharing Economy 

Talk: Many existing and emerging online systems allow people to connect with strangers to coordinate the exchange of goods and favors. These exchanges tend to necessitate negotiations over interpersonal boundaries. This talk will discuss social interaction that takes place in the context of the so-called sharing economy. The talk will present empirical studies with people who engage with Airbnb, Couchsurfing, and Sharetribe. Moreover, it will address design implications stemming from a deepened understanding of user practices, including account sharing and efforts to avoid indebtedness.

  1. The link to Molz J. G. (2014) is broken, I found the article through Google Scholar but that link seems to be broken as well.
    Can you provide another link?
