I concur with Penny, but then, I was in the same room with her at UXA
when Chris presented his New Digital Ethnographer's Toolkit - it's a
pretty extensive and flexible framework using mostly/all free tools -
I think it's just want you want to explore. :-)

Thanks Penny and everyone for your very helpful suggestions!
My colleague recommended google docs too, I was kind of
wondering..hmm, do
we have to use google for everything? Hence asked.
I will spend some time researching on the other tools
Cheers

Hi Christina
depending on what you are after you might want to look at Tumblr,
which you can set up yourself and is pretty straight forward for you
and for participants. In the past I have used wordpress blogs (one
per participant) customised to allow moblogging but that was before
Tumblr was around. Tumblr will support various media types and mobile
messages which is great if you want people to actually be able to
share their activities throughout the day.
Chris Khalil describes his process here.

Our Mobile Diary case studies are documented here (but old tech now -
2006)

There are also quite a number of custom tools that have been
developed as online diary tools. Ones that I know of but haven't
had personal experience with include:
Revelation
http://www.kdaresearch.com/services/revelation.php
I have seen some positive feedback about this on other lists.
Piipl
http://www.piipl.net/index.php/en/ which is relatively new - this one
might be more online focus group and less online diary - I've only
quickly looked at the demo.
7daysinmylife is also a custom online diary tool, set up to support
the method of context mapping
(http://studiolab.io.tudelft.nl/contextmapping/) . You can read about
it here http://www.zilverinnovation.com/en/tools
It was developed at DELF though I am not sure exactly how you get a
license to use it.
