After the lecture for this week, ive talked to my lecturer and he suggested looking into locative media inside my social networking site.
So the idea would be that you can register onto my website, create a profile and add friends. Pretty basic social networking stuff so far. The new flash part is that once you sign up, you can register your mobile device to your account, i.e. iphone.
You will then be able to connect through an iphone app / downloadable java app to the website and log in. Once you've logged in you will be able to activate your gps locater (within the mobile device). This will then allow your friends from the website to see where you are.
You will also be able to look for friends near you, so if your in a city centre or a nightclub and you have the phone signal, you will be able to look to see which friends are near by. Therefore getting you in touch with your friends and being able to socialise even more.
I quite like this idea, even though some of the technology may be beyond my current level of knowledge, i think i will develop this idea even further.
