This paper suggests an application combining LBS and SNS based on Android OS. By using smart phone which is personal mobile information equipment, it combines location information with user information and SNS so that the service can be developed. It also maximizes sharing and use of information via twit based on locations of friends. This proposed system is aims for users to show online identity more actively and more conveniently.
