Resource allocation and sharing is one of the core foci of economic research. Whenever one group of people has access to, or can provide certain resources, and another group is interested in consuming these resources, mechanisms can facilitate such an exchange. Such mechanisms can include monetary based exchange, exchange based on credits, bilateral exchange etc. Here in order to facilitate this sharing mechanism, the pre-established trust formed through friend relationships within a Social network is used to form a dynamic cloud-like platform, where the sharing of resources occurs through “friend” relationship. The users can have preference with whom they need to share their resources. Preference mechanism is provided through feedback integration where the preference is calculated automatically, unlike the traditional method where it is provided manually, which is difficult in larger user scenario. Feedback is provided by the already existing users. For the matchmaking between consumers and providers, Deferred acceptance algorithm is used which provides a stable match among the users. Feedback Integration mechanism is used to provide ranking between friends initially which reduces the load in providing the ranks manually especially in case of large number of users.
