| Store and Share in the Friend Cloud

| Imagining that you can store your photos and videos remotely on phones of your trusted friends when your own phone is short of storage, and imagining that you can make some files on your phone accessible to your friends by only marking these files as "shared", in this project, you are expected to develop such an application to enable Windows Phones of your own and your friends to form a network of shared storage by exploiting various cloud services from Microsoft, e.g., Relay and Rendezvous Services enable one Windows Phone to access another via some replay point in the cloud, which seem to be the best fit for the implementation of this application.

| [http://www.omegle.com/ Omegle] is a website via which strangers worldwide can talk with each other anonymously. The idea of anonymous chat can also be implemented in a location-based fashion, i.e., people can be enabled to chat anonymously with others who are physically nearby. In this project, you are expected to develop such a location-based anonymous instant-messaging application for Windows Phones. You can leverage various cloud services from Microsoft to select co-located strangers to form one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many conversations. This application can also be extended to exchanging files between strangers and video chat if strangers are willing to see eath other.
