Focusing on an idea

Posted by Petros Kagkas in Project Proposal on March 9, 2012

Many Internet users have accounts for multiple social networks. Thus they have to login to each of them as keeping track of updates and posts on those networks. The application that we propose to develop is a universal web client that could aggregate information from different social networks, e.g. facebook, twitter.

This application will provide to the user a portal page in which he/she is able to follow all of updates, posts, tweets and new feeds etc, of all the social networks that she already has an account for them.

It shall be very useful since user would only need to access one panel to collect information of all social networks. This application would offer to the user an episcopal, direct view of all the aggregated information from the social networks that he uses.

On our first meeting (01/03/2012) we introduced each other and our skills that each of us has. Furthermore we discussed some ideas that help make a good start and contribute to thoughts for our next meeting.

Additionally, our mentor Connor McCabe provided us with some very useful information regarding the project. He also guided us on our ideas and offered us some useful references.

Our second meeting (06/03/2012) was brainstorming. We discussed some ideas further which were proposed in our first meeting and derived some more interesting ideas

Here is a list of the ideas that were offered by our team members:

Unified platform of social networks.
A group finder application based on preferences.
An application for organizing parties with the help of a map.
Forwarding text message system for certain groups.
A web based application that different people could contribute for creating a painting, shared canvas application.
Partner matching algorithm.

And some of the above ideas were further discussed and analysed by the members of our group. The following images are depicting two of the above ideas.
