Abstract

Social networks are more influential to society as time goes on. Everyday, a lot of/ninformation is shared through these networks: news have been surfing the web before/nappearing in the conventional press, news of a user's friends, and any other imaginable/nkind of data. However, discovery social networks are a not frequently studied, although/nmaybe in the next years we will hear more about them. This Final Degree Project/ndocuments the design process and the development of a discovery type social network./nThe network is oriented to smartphones. The project documents the process from having/nthe idea, to finishing a functional platform. This project carried out the Software/nEngineering process. The process aims to develop an idea by studying state-of-the-art in/norder to understand the technologies which are currently used; the requirements/nengineering, functional and technical design; and finally the platform development,/ngetting as result the planed social platform./nThe project gives us a handful of conclusions. The project reflects about the difficulties/nwhen developing for a platform that, each day, must provide support for billions of/nrequests at high speeds; the difficulties that found when developing the created/nplatform; and the pros and cons of this type of services at a technical level. This work/nprovides can be extended, containing a section of future work, which includes adding/npossible new services to the platform and possible business models to be implemented.
