The project defines, designs and implements a social networking site for sharing news in an easy and friendly way and with high usability, where users can self-managing information sharing and receiving. Visually users can interact with the news, they can see them, they can write new comments and they will be able to view the news on a big map to see the most active places in the world. Nowadays, we are used to see how every newspaper provides a very subjective point of view of every single piece of news that is published. Therefore, this gives us a particular perception of the original fact, which is usually manipulated. Countless newspapers survive thanks to political subsidies, as they are committed to deliver its support to political leaders, even if they go against ordinary citizen's interests. For that reason, this application is designed to give first-hand information directly from the original source, to put it simple, from those currently living the facts, as they are possibly the major base of accuracy and reliability. An application where citizens inform of what happens in the city. This web application has also an Android mobile application for smartphones, which is designed in other End-of-Degree Project.
