Resumé:
Concert halls, stadium and bus waiting shelters are just few examples of places where collocation creates common interest between people. In such locations, it could be useful to locally exchange photos, audio files, travel informations, or headline news using what we always have with us: smartphones or tablets. These devices have witnessed a very quick evolution and a wide-spreading mar- ket penetration in the last few years, so that it is expected that traffic from wireless and mobile devices will exceed traffic from wired devices by 2016.
A large user base wants to share their own generated content (UGC) to their own followers too. This is what currently happens with blogs or with the Web 2.0 and social web applications. In this context, all the evident advantages of opportunistic networks (fault tolerance, locality, scalability, infrastructure offloading) can lead to new content-centric or media-sharing mobile applications such as proximity chat, local social networks, or micro blogs.
