Abstract
Many applications have emerged as social networking applications such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. They allow users to share ideas, experiences, and files. However, to be able to gain access to the advantages and services of social networks, users have to have Internet connectivity. Unfortunately, Internet connectivity is not always available for all users in certain places such as; bus and train stations, disaster areas, wars, university campus, and conferences. In such places, the needs for social services are indeed required. Therefore, it is vital to provide the social service with the absence of regular communication technology. In this paper, we proposed a social ad-hoc network. It is based on mobile ad-hoc networks as a solution for the lack of communication means.
