Abstract

In Asia countries, a family usually encourages their children to acquire a better education in a prestige university even though it is far from their hometown. The distance can affect to family relationship for this opportunity in life. A social media becomes one of the communication channels which usually insufficient to maintain proper communication and relationships due to the downside of synchronous communication. KUMAMI, a multi-platform web application, is developed by using an asynchronous communication. A solution to provides a better experience while communicating among family members with familiar features, members status, family notes. This method reduces expectation of an immediate response in the family as ordinary social media platforms.
