Abstract
We propose a tool called FaintPop. It is intended to be an alternative media that is suitable for a verylight-weight, acknowledge-only, mode of communication. Furthermore, it intuitively provides, through memories of communication, a general overview of the communication activities. The tool is designed for a community, with which the sense of connectedness can be shared among members. Results from an initial experiment are reported briefly.
