N2 - We investigate the usability of MobiTOP (Mobile Tagging of Objects and People), a mobile location-based annotation system. MobiTOP allows users to annotate real world locations with both multimedia and textual content and concurrently, share the annotations among its users. Equipped with a new interface as well as additional functionality such as clustering of annotations and advanced search and filtering options, a usability evaluation of MobiTOP was conducted in the context of a travel companion for tourists. The results suggested the potential of the system in terms of functionality for mobile content sharing. Participants agree that the features in MobiTOP are generally usable as a content sharing tool. Implications and future work are also reported in this paper.
