Abstract :
Mobile phones are offering a wide set of functionalities capable of improving the user way of communicating with the world. Due to user mobility and to the inherent ubiquity of these devices, social relations are now being created and maintained using mobile social applications. To this aim, in this work, we present our application Nudge Nudge, a proximity based social application which aims to connect close people in both terms of geographic distance and personality.
