Toward a Rhetoric of Locale: Localizing Mobile Messaging Technology into Everyday Life    

This article explores the social meaning of locale in mobile communication research and introduces an approach of user localization to study technology integration.

It argues that the use of mobile communication technology is both a complex and dynamic interaction with its surrounding social, cultural, technological, and economic conditions, and an articulation work of self and locale.
