Abstract

Social network systems have become one of the most popular Internet applications in recent years. Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets make Internet access easier than ever before. They have also brought new opportunities for the social platforms of universities and their alumni. This paper proposes a mobile platform integrating the public social network site, facebook (FB), and universities' alumni. Before the users in this platform can contact the alumni, they must know their latest status from FB. Users can also gain alumni’s personal information with their authorization from the universities’ database. In addition, the mobile platform utilizes the Google Sync feature, which provides users of the system with ubiquitous information retrieval in any location and from any device.
