Abstract: Social networks have become extremely popular in the last few
years. By bringing different media as well as modes of distribution
social networks (SN) have revolutionized communication among people. By
using the enormous reach of mobile phones equipped with myriads of
sensors, the next generation of social networks can be designed not only
to connect people with other people, but also to connect people with
essential life resources. We call these networks Social Life Networks
(SLN).  We will discuss efforts in building SLNs, show example
applications, and identify challenges that must be addressed to make
them practical.
