- | ==== What is Urbiflock? ==== | ||
- | |||
- | UrbiFlock is a framework sculpted for the development of //pervasive social network applications//: | ||
- | |||
- | Urbiflock is a Facebook-like application framework for mobile devices written in AmbientTalk. As in Facebook, users that join Urbiflock can meet other users and interact with them. For example users may broadcast announcements to each other, they can browse one another’s profile, launch interactive | ||
- | polls, etc. The framework takes care of managing a user’s social networks, called “flocks”. A flock represents a loosely-defined group of users. A flock can be compared to a Facebook group (for example, a group of your old classmates), | ||
- | |||
- | Similar to Facebook, users can build applications and plug them into the Urbiflock framework. Several core applications are currently available in the Urbiflock framework, such as flock creators and profile viewers, and also users applications such as //I rate you// (IR8U) that allows users to ask proximate users to rate them on a certain subject, and // | ||
- | The framework is currently still under development, | ||
