Abstract
Technology plays a significant role in the development of society. Social Networking Sites (SNS) have not only been used to cover the needs of entertainment, finding friends or family but also have been extended to cover other issues such as social and community services. This paper explores usefulness of using social network in the context of community and social services. By analyzing the linkage patterns among members of social network, communities of similar users are constructed. The proposed system, Society in hand, matches semantic of user's profiles in order to enable social workers, their colleagues, and others to keep connected, informed, and organized in form of community to support charity purposes. Using such a system would increase the effectiveness of charities activities and saves cost and time as well as would increase the participation of volunteers in community services.
