According to The Korea Times, Samsung is planning to launch its own social network to compete with Facebook. The Times cites an anonymous Samsung official as its source. Samsung hopes to have the network available on all its internet-connected devices, such as cameras, phones, tablets, and TVs. Samsung’s internal codename for it is “Samsung Facebook.”

“Samsung Facebook” will allegedly be built on top of Amazon’s cloud computing network. As far as launching goes, a Samsung official confirmed to The Times that the service “will become available in the first quarter of next year at the earliest,” and that the company’s goal is to expand the “social media service across different devices from different companies across different mobile platforms.”
