Abstract

Online social networking services help people to migrate social networks from offline to online. Twitter, which has achieved incredible growth, showed that an online social networking service without offline bases can become large and successful. In this paper, we propose a twitter friend notification service using user‘s twitter messages and place recognizing technology. When there is a friend in user‘s nearby place, the service notifies the information to the users. Through the friend notification service, a user can easily extend his online social network to offline.

온라인 소셜 네트워킹 서비스는 현실에 존재하는 인적 네트워크를 온라인 상에서도 형성할 수 있는 서비스를 제공해준다. 최근 급격하게 확산되고 있는 트위터는 온라인으로 형성된 소셜 네트워킹 서비스가 무한히 커질 수 있음을 보여주었다. 본 연구에서는 트위터 메시지와 장소 인식 기술을 통해 근처에 있는 트위터 친구의 존재를 알려주는 서비스를 제안한다. 본 서비스가 제공해주는 기능을 효과적으로 활용하여 오프라인 만남이 활성화되면 온라인으로 형성된 소셜 네트워크가 현실에 존재하는 인맥으로 확장되는 효과를 거둘 수 있다.
