Social networking fusion

Popular social medias like Facebook and Twitter provide native mobile applications. These applications consume significant amount of memory on mobile devices and provide news-feeds only from their own data center. Users need to install dedicated applications to view news from each of such social medias. The 'Social Networking Fusion' combines news-feeds from multiple social medias into one application. It has separate view-sections that displays the news-feeds from each different social media service. It also has a fusion timeline that combines news-feeds from separate social accounts. The app also has a functionality to compose new posts or updates and upload them to Facebook and Twitter accounts. The Social networking fusion is a native android mobile application. It is implemented using Java, XML, REST APIs and other third party Android-libraries. Performance of the social networking fusion app is evaluated by comparing memory, data and battery usage with that of Facebook and Twitter apps. All apps are tested by creating a neutral lab environment on an Android device. This comparison is performed by simulating Monte Carlo's random sampling method.
