Detail

Twitter is a microblogging system which has millions of users. However, only people with Internet can share the information from Twitter. You may want to publish a microblog on Twitter, but you do not have Internet connection. However, there is one person near you who owns Internet. You can forward the message to him via Bluetooth/SMS, and he can retweet you message to Twitter. Meanwhile, you can share a friend's microblog by Bluetooth instead of connecting to Internet.

In this project, we want to use Twitter API to connect to an existing mobile social application - Goose. The following tasks need to be completed at the end of this project.

1. Add WiFi function to Goose.

The current Goose can only use Bluetooth and SMS for message transmission. As the first part of the project, we want to extend the Goose to support WiFi as well.

2. Connect Goose to Twitter via Twitter API.

In this part of project, you need to look into Twitter APIs and make Goose connect to Twitter, by which the designed program can post microblog to Twitter. Others can help a person reweets a message, and etc.

Requirements:

1. Proficiency with Java programming

2. Must attend the weekly meeting, which may happens in the afternoon or weekends. We can negotiate the meeting time later.
