Abstract
Web 2.0 applications encourage users to contribute to the production of richer content. In this context, our work mainly focuses on providing mobile users the ability to share content and to support user generated content production. Specifically, in our case study, features both for a mobile Web and for a mobile native application are implemented, capable of providing news services enriched with indicative social networking elements. The results of our work are largely related to the understanding of the required proper solutions, based on the investigation of serious technical challenges: the XML-RPC library for the Android platform is exploited, as well as a specific Backend Joomla! component is built (Rsstoa) to handle consistently external content sources, such as feeds and multipart emails.
