Abstract :
We proposed MobiTribe which enables device centric social networking on smart mobile devices while reducing high communication costs and battery usage normally associated with mobile distributed systems. In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of MobiTribe by integrating the service with the popular social networking application Facebook. We show that it is possible to provide the benefits of distributed content sharing on top of the existing centralized social networking services with minimal changes to the content sharing process.
