Abstract
A modern smart phone contains detailed information about the owner through the phone book, music lists, and social media integration, which can be used to recommend new interesting content to the user. Combining this information with ad hoc peer-to-peer communication of the smart phones allows users to find new interesting content and persons in the proximity and exchange messages. Social Index allows users to anonymously find interesting new content in the proximity. The prototype Social Index application was tested with a simulator running anonymized Facebook profiles, and with real test users. All the test users found interesting people using the simulator.
