Abstract
Example systems and methods of content sharing using notification within a social networking environment are presented. In one example, an indication is received from a first user device associated with a first user, the indication indicating that the first user device is available for supplying media content over a communication network. Social network information regarding the first user is retrieved. A second user of a second user device is identified based on an association between the first user and the second user according to the social network information. The second user device is notified of the availability of the first user device for the supplying of the media content.
