Abstract
For supplying elderly people with an activity and content feed that offers information on what is happening in their community and local environment, an information and communication infrastructure has to be provided that integrates Social Networking Services (SNS) including Social Networks, photo sharing sites, address book services, personal blogs, web feeds and mailing lists. In this section, we present our approach to integrating existing SNS and facilitating social interaction for the elderly.
