Nurturing Social Networks Using Mobile Phones
نویسندگان
چکیده
Youngsters maintain contact with each other through social-networking websites. We propose new ways of nurturing contacts by monitoring users’ activity with mobile phones (i.e., by monitoring text messages, phone calls, and encounters captured by Bluetooth). We show that, based on user’s activity, one is able to recommend new friends, track health of friendships (and alert users they may be neglecting their friendship), and make users aware of their mood (so that they take action and keep negative emotions under control).
