Notes:
12 pages., CSCW '15 Proceedings of the 18th ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work & Social Computing, via online database, ACM Digital Library., With the wide penetration of mobile internet, social networking (SN) systems are becoming increasingly popular in the developing world. However, most SN sites are text heavy, and are therefore unusable by low-literate populations. Here we ask what would an SN application for low-literate users look like and how would it be used? We designed and deployed KrishiPustak, an audio-visual SN mobile application for low-literate farming populations in rural India. Over a four month deployment, 306 farmers registered through the phones of eight agricultural mediators making 514 posts and 180 replies. We conducted interviews with farmers and mediators and analyzed the content to understand system usage and to drive iterative design. The context of mediated use and agricultural framing had a powerful impact on system understanding (what it was for) and usage. Overall, KrishiPustak was useful and usable, but none-the-less we identify a number of design recommendations for similar SN systems.

Notes:
search from AgEcon., American Agricultural Economics Association Annual Meeting, August 2-5, 1998, Salt Lake City, Utah. 13 pages; Adobe Acrobat PDF 83K bytes., Share contracts under information asymmetry often involve input application and risk sharing inefficiency. These
difficulties are nullified under full information which can be approximated in repeated contracts. We give evidence of
cooperation in repeated contracts, indicating the existence of full information efficiency and efficient resource use, despite
underlying information asymmetry.
