Urban Social Spaces: Shareabouts study in collaboration with OpenPlans

We've started a study looking at places people congregate and share ideas in Kendall Square.  We're doing this project in collaboration with OpenPlans (http://openplans.org/), who has implemented this study using their Shareabouts software.  

This map will provide a new way to collect data about where people typically congregate, what types of interactions they have in a given space, and where ideas are generated. Knowing the role of space in interaction can guide future design to encourage productivity.

Have a look at the site here, and if you are in Kendall Square, feel free to contribute a data point to our study:

Also, we're looking for people who would be interested in participating in this study for a one-month period, taking about a minute a day to contribute responses.  Send us a note at urbansocial@kendallinnovation.org if you'd like to participate or if you'd like to give us your feedback and insights.
