 For the scope of this course we hope to develop a complete social network application for university students. This app manipulates the use of Bluetooth technology in order to transfer data between users within BT ranges. The purpose of this app is to link University students with similar programs and/or majors in order to promote social interaction by providing natural ice breakers through user profiles as well as perform transactions such as buying and selling of books and/or tutoring services.\\
+===== Our Vision =====
+IceBreaker is not just another social app. We have started this project based on our experience at York University and developed it using the tools we have obtained from many courses.
+During Frosh Week or when trying to find a group for your first school project, you would be going around trying to form as many connections as you can with people in the same program as you. IceBreaker helps you to do that by proving you with basic information that will allow you to approach the person.
+Furthermore, students can use all the help they need during university whether financial or educational. When going around campus, you find many posters advertising the selling of used books. Even when using a Facebook group, you have to keep scrolling down the page in order to find the book you need and by then it might already be sold but the post is so further down the page that the seller could not find it quickly enough to delete it and hence left it there. We have integrated this buying-and-selling-of-books' transaction into our app to allow for users to convieniently advertise the books they want to sell, easily delete it if already sold and for others to be notified when a book they desire is being sold by another user.
+Furthermore, using our tutoring services, a user can advertise their areas of strengths in certain courses offering to help those younger students that might be struggling with them.
+In this manner, our app is very specific in that it integrates everything a student needs in one place.

-**Basic structure of main page, called MyZone**
-{{:projects:g7:myzone.png?450}}
+We have successfully managed to transfer user profiles via BT, allow users to add books and tutoring services that they need or offer and successfully find out what is in common with other users in their vicinity through the colors of the "bubbles in motion" featured in their homepage.\\
+  * Users can now set up their profile indicating the school they go to and their major\\
