Micro-Blogging Enabled Social Network Site.

The proposed project is Social Network Site for Campus/Corporate/Public. The project contains all the features of typical social network sites like, photo sharing, video sharing, messages, groups etc. The main module in this project is a micro-blogging enabled communicator.

Micro-blogging is a form of blogging that allows users to write brief text updates (usually less than 200 characters) and publish them, either to be viewed by anyone or by a restricted group which can be chosen by the user. These messages can be submitted by a variety of means, including text messaging, instant messaging, email or the web.

In An user can create any number of communicators. He can invite friends in the social network to join in that communicator. Users can login into the communicator using variety of means apart from the website like mobile, instant messenger (google talk, yahoo messenger etc..), email etc. Once user sets his login device every posts to the communicator will be pushed to his login device; SMS to mobile, instant message to messenger. The user can also post his reply using the same device.

To use the communicator facility the user does not need to login to the website like conventional social network sites. This advantage will certainly increase active user base of the proposes project.

This project can be developed using J2EE/.NET/PHP with database MySql or MSSQL with the aid of SMS gateway, Google API etc
