title = "Hubbub: A wireless instant messenger that uses earcons for awareness and for {"}sound instant messages",
abstract = "There is a need for lightweight communication tools that give people awareness of colleagues, friends, and family and that let them initiate and retrieve messages with trivial effort. Existing instant messenger applications are a good step, but most provide minimal awareness and are not easily accessible from the road. Hubbub is an instant messenger that runs on a wireless Palm and a PC, enabling people to maintain background awareness of others and send them quick messages. It uses a novel concept of {"}sound instant messages,{"} i.e., earcons that have meaning, such {"}Hi{"} or {"}Thanks.{"} Each user has a Sound ID that announces their sound messages and their changes in availability. Users can protect their privacy and control sound overload.",
