Connoba Dog provides weak ties of communication among visitors to the park, while tight connections of a group in social network sometimes cause the stress.

How Connoba Dog provides low-stress communication based on Curiosity mechanism*.
- Posting message is only allowed to users in a certain area (place) near the park. This helps to reduce noisy posts.
- Following/unfollowing topics by Curious-about button updates realtime ranking of interests. Users understand the trends of interests before posting. This helps to motivate wider viewpoint of posting.
- Curious-about is opened to even users outside the place. This helps to bridge expectations from outside and recent post from inside.

*) Our unique cycle to motivate a variety of posts. It is developed to solve the issue that motivation mechanism of Like sometimes causes bias on posts or a sense of obligation.
