Method - jQuery Mobile

jQuery Mobile is a touch-optimized web framework (additionally known as a JavaScript library or a mobile framework) currently being developed by the jQuery project team. The development focuses on creating a framework compatible with a wide variety of smartphones and tablet computers, made necessary by the growing but heterogeneous tablet and smartphone market. The JQuery Mobile framework is compatible with other mobile app frameworks and platforms such as PhoneGap, Worklight and more.

Cross-platform & cross-device:
The fact that my app worked immediately on both Android and iOS - along with many other platforms  - is a massive advantage. As an individual developer, it is a huge effort to maintain a separate code base for each platform. Writing a quality mobile application for a single platform is a full-time job, having to re-do that for each platform takes a lot of resources. The fact that my app will work on both my Android and iOS devices equally well is a huge bonus.

Furthermore, especially with the massive proliferation of Android devices in all shapes and sizes, making your app look presentable on a huge variety of screen resolutions is a real challenge. For serious Android developers, device fragmentation in terms of screen size (scaling from the downright tiny to quite large) actually represents a considerable development cost. With the browser rendering your application in a way that looks reasonable on every device, you don't have to worry about this to anywhere near the same extent.

Social Media Aggregator

Social network aggregation is the process of collecting content from multiple social network services, such as MySpace or Facebook. The task is often performed by a social network aggregator, which pulls together information into a single location, or helps a user consolidate multiple social networking profiles into one profile. Various aggregation services provide tools or widgets to allow users to consolidate messages, track friends, combine bookmarks, search across multiple social networking sites, read RSS feeds for multiple social networks, see when their name is mentioned on various sites, access their profiles from a single interface, provide "lifestreams", etc

The Proposal

SocialID is an webapp, a place to share your details online away from the traditional business card, you don't need to worry forgot or lost card. You don't need to organize hundreds of your colleagues card and information and put that to some places safe. SocialID could help you from that stir condition, it’s compact, mobile, simple and easy. There will be no more lost or forgotten details of yours.

Similar Concepts - Business Cards

Business Cards

The business card is often something placed at the back end of your wallet or in your pocket. Deemed as a small piece of cardboard paper that is part of day to day meetings with people, the card is seldom considered more than its face value.

Business cards are cards bearing business information about a company or individual. They are shared during formal introductions as a convenience and a memory aid. A business card typically includes the giver's name, company affiliation (usually with a logo) and contact information such as street addresses, telephone number(s), fax number, e-mail addresses and website. It can also include telex, bank account and tax code. Traditionally many cards were simple black text on white stock; today a professional business card will sometimes include one or more aspects of striking visual design.

Business cards is an aged old relic, it is ready for disruption. But what is going to replace it? Is it replaceable?

Possible Research topics

• Journal articles on social networking
• Journal articles on human relation (e.g. psychology, media)
• Research on social media aggregation (is the process of collecting content from multiple social network services)
• Survey on people about the masses of social media available today

The Project

My project is on the masses of social media platforms that are out there. Many users have accounts on several different social networking sites.

The hypothesis is that there are too many social media. it is takes a lot of time to maintain all of your social media.....

The method is to create a platform where a person can create a profile where they can list all the social media accounts that they have, so that they could share all of their social media easily with just one link.

Intro to Social Media

We all know how important networking is, there is a saying "its not that you know but who you know"

So a background on how social networking has evolved. Some times is hard to imagine the days where you can just take a picture and share it with all your friends or type in somebody's name and be able to find the online, but things have change dramatically.

Some of the ideas of social network theory are found in writings going back to ancient Greeks.

In late 1800s both Emile Durkheim and Ferdinand Tonnies foreshadow the idea of social networks in their research of social groups.

Social groups has been defined as two or more humans who interact with one another, share similar characteristics and collectively have a sense of unity.

As we know social network on the internet is already the norm, for example people are on Facebook, Twitter and more. Web-based social networking services make it possible to connect to people who share interests and activities across borders.

Facebook it self and other social networking tools have become so large that they have become objects of scholar research.

The Question

Social network on the internet is already the norm now day e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn
Many users have accounts on several different social networking sites

Study found that females who use social networks belongs to about 10 sites, while males belong to about half as many. So that means there is a lot of overlap in social media users.

The question is with all of the social sites available and used by people, do the social sites itself need networking?
