Abstract

A social networking system comprisingfirst and second mobile telephone devices relating to first and second users respectively, each device being adapted in use to facilitate telephone calls between the respective user and other telephones.The first and second mobile telephone devices comprising resident first and second client applications respectively, a social network server; anda network providing communication between the mobile telephone device and the social network server. The system being adapted in use such that the first client application is adapted to obtain first location data representing the location of the mobile telephone device of the first user and location accuracy data selected by the first user and transmit the first location data and location accuracy data to the social network server using the network. The social network server is adapted to generate second location data in accordance with the first location data and the location accuracy data such that the accuracy of the second location data is determined by the location accuracy data and transmit the second location data to the second client application resident of the mobile telephone device of a second user using the network. The second client application is adapted to receive the second location data and present the second location data to the second user.
