| Abstract | Mobile computing provides ubiquitous access to social networking services allowing computer-mediated interaction among its members. This article proposes a new and complementary interaction paradigm promoting face-to-face encounters among community members, based on their physical proximity. Therefore, the virtual space for interactions is extended towards the physical one. The proposal was implemented through a mobile ubiquitous application, which was evaluated to understand its usability, perceived usefulness and performance. The preliminary results of such evaluations are highly encouraging. |
