Abstract

A ubiquitous social community portal service for social networking was studied with short International Domain Names (IDN) as a convenient mobile user interface (UI) for the disabled and elderly. Single-character multilingual domain-names are easy for the disabled and elderly people to memorize and type in to access social information. Multi-lingual single-character domain names with text-based social information are more convenient than long URL strings to retrieve information and to give short notice of information for social networking. We introduce a ubiquitous social community portal ‘ktrip.net', that has real-time Text to Speech (TTS) functionality with text-based contents in social networking service, using a tiny ‘hand-board' for alumni, relatives and any special groups
