Abstract
A computer-implemented method for automatically updating a social networking system based on vehicle events may include receiving login information at a nomadic device to permit network access to a social networking system. The method may also include wirelessly determining a vehicle operational status. Geographic location information indicating an approximate location of the vehicle may also be received. Based on the vehicle operational status and the location information, one or more messages may be generated. Network access to the social networking system using the login information may be obtained and the one or more messages to the social networking system may be transmitted over the network for updating information on the social networking system.
