Front of large amount of personal mobile devices sold in the market and the vast amount of location technologies available for use by this equipment, we present a solution of localization that is able to position geographically a user and his friends on any mobile device, regardless of the equipment localization technology, as well as calculate the distance that it is in relation to friends and set the distance to be notified of the proximity thereof. This solution consists of two localization services: the localization service that uses the HTML5 Geolocation API and the localization service that uses Dynamic Web Service. Both services have been deployed and tested in SocialNetLab, which is the mobile social network that was implemented to validate these location services, serve as a laboratory for future research on social networks and will be available for the Department of Computer Science, of the University Federal of Sergipe. The main result we obtained the integration of two localization services in a mobile social network, the SocialNetLab, making it able to find and notify users of the proximity of friends regardless of localization technology available on the device (mobile or not). Upon completion of the tests we obtained satisfactory results in both localization services tested.
