Method of Social Network Service based media contents sharing by Modified URL shortening

摘要

Today, Social Network Services (SNS) has become a part of our life. People can easily publish their own media contents or share ready-made media contents. However, traditional media content sharing is based on the centralized server system. People living in countryside which is far from server farm branch for those services always need to access overseas server to view media contents. To overcome this problem, this paper presents a method for media content sharing on SNS with Modified URL shortening. From HTML5 standard and Web application technologies, we can make web browser work as web server. It has a form of browser extension like Google Chrome Extensions. In addition, friend relationship in SNS means geographical closeness in many cases so it can be used as closer source of media contents than original SNS or media service server. To evaluate this new approach, we simulate the idea with real internet topology and virtual social network structure. From this simulation, we can check the possibility of our suggestion indirectly.
