Abstract
A social networking (SNET) management service supports interactions involving various resources, which can include applications, services, and identities, of members associated with a SNET infrastructure. A SNET management service can be centrally located or distributed across various devices associated with a SNET infrastructure. The SNET management service can support managing a SNET group, in part or in full, by various server devices and devices docked to the SNET group. Supported interactions can include docking resources to a SNET group and extending access by various members associated with various SNET infrastructures to such resources. Various interactions can also include extending access by docked resources, resources associated with docked devices, and the like, to members associated with various SNET infrastructures. Various interactions can be managed based upon inputs, internal logic, and the like provided by various processing systems, devices, and/or members.
