In this article, we present an idea of combining social networking websites andmodern mobile devices abilities to transfer social networking activity to a higherlevel. Nowadays, these devices and websites are used to offer ability of remotecommunication (phone calls, message exchange etc.), which potentially can beused to notify people about meetings in the real world. Since the current socialnetwork models do not provide enough information for such notification (socialnetworking websites are examples of social networks) a new social network modelthat will be suitable for the above mentioned application is proposed and a newsocial platform that base on mobile devices is introduced. This platform cannotify users when their friends are nearby. The paper presents the model andthe simulation that verifies the approach.
