ABC The mobile application is expected to reach about 10 million U.S. college students.
Perth-based social networking company Moko has signed a deal for a mobile application which could crack open the lucrative US college market.
The app, called REC-IT, is designed to co-ordinate the social activities of millions of college students.
The company will roll it out from next year with hopes to extend it to 600 universities by August.
It is the second such deal for Moko.
Moko boss Ian Rodwell started working on the app with a small team of five in 2005 from a tiny office in Perth.
He says it is similar to the original idea behind facebook which was initially designed for student communities on American college campuses.
"What this tool does, is it allows them to find out what's available, what activities there are," he said.
"It might be everything from joining a basketball league to doing a yoga class or a spin class and it allows them to track all the schedules and times they can use the rec centres.
"If they're in a league or playing in a team it reminds them what's on when, what court they're playing on or if there is a change to that schedule, it also tracks all of their stats and results."
