Gantt Chart 2:

This project Gantt chart was completed on 17th, April, 2012, which is an up to date Gantt chart for our project. Please notice that a new task is added to our project, which is “Consideration of Contextual Factors”, describing the aspects of social, economic, privacy and legal of our project. The time duration of the project remains the same. But time scales for most tasks are quite different from the initial Gantt chart.

Think about what your real social life looks like for a second, you will find that different from the current social networks like Facebook or Twitter, people you know and you actually interact with most in real life are in your mobile contacts. Our actual social life is stored in our mobile contacts.

Hence, our project is a social networking application which is built based on the mobile contacts. Through our application, the degree of relationship between you and your friends can be visualized. According to our featured algorithm, credits will be added with each person on mobile contacts based on every interaction. More importantly, the generated contacts credits rank can be imported to other social networking websites like Facebook to prioritize information based on credit. Higher credit gets higher priority and hence more wall space. All in all, this will be a totally new social networking application based on your mobile contacts and the history records of your mobile phone social activities.

In conclusion, this application will enable the user to view the relationships with their friends through a visualization and bring close friends even closer. And at the same time, optimize the form of expression on Facebook in a more sensible order and structure.
