Peer to peer propagation of information in social networks

摘要

A first user of a first device transmits information to a second user of a second device located within a predetermined distance from the first device, wherein an ad-hoc network is formed from the first device and the second device. In response to determining that the information is likely to be of interest to other users, the information is propagated from the second user of the second device, to a third user of a third device within the predetermined distance from the second device, and the third device is included in the ad-hoc network.
