Abstract—Social networking and Instant Messaging applications occupy an important place in human life and they are used by a dramatically increasing number of people day by day. Each application has different features and provides varying options to their users. However, we can clearly see that none of them meets the users’ needs satisfactorily. This study proposes a heterogeneous social platform, Talkbuddy, which not only enables location check-in and instant messaging but also offers a new option by which users can also find new contacts according to their preferences. Moreover, the proposed system will assist people in their daily life by offering a cafe, restaurant and/or bar to visit. This system will serve as a web site and mobile applications on iOS and Android platforms.

Index Terms—Instant messaging, social networking, SMS.
