BREAKING: Samsung planning to build a social network like 'Facebook'


Samsung's got their line of smart products in almost all categories including cameras, smartphones, televisions, blu-rays,etc. What do you do next to expand these services and create a unified experience? You launch a social network to connect these services. Samsung is just doing that, according to The Korea Times. The officials from Samsung also said that the site will be available by the first quarter of next year. 

The project is literally codenamed as 'Samsung Facebook'. The company has yet to decide on a name for the service. Samsung had already tried their hands at creating a social networking service with the current Family Story app which is more about sharing photos, events and messaging. They aim to develop a social networking service which will eventually compete with Facebook. For allowing users to use this service from anywhere and on any device, Samsung plans to integrate it with Amazon’s cloud computing platform.
