December Update to SadakMap Users
Thursday, December 20th, 2007Dear SadakMap users,
Quick update of where things stand…
First of all, we are excited to let you know that SadakMap.com has been selected as a finalist for the Innovations 2008 contest organized by IITB Alumnus Association. SadakMap is one of 16 innovative companies selected from all around the country. The finalists get to present to a set of distinguished panelists on Jan 5, 2008 in Pune. So if you would like to be present and listen to interesting pitches from entrepreneurs, be there. More info at: http://www.innovations-pune.com
Next comes the distinction for most number of marks on the map. This time, its shared by 2 users who have made 39 marks each:
1. Once again Miki (http://www.sadakmap.com/spotme/miki) from Goa shares the top spot with
2. Kholkar from Pune (kholkar hasnt set his SpotMeUrl yet - so unable to share it with you)
Thanks to a 9th grade student who’s interest in history led her to plot the historical places around Pune. So do checkout the Tourism spots in and around Pune (select Pune from the City dropdown).
Finally a rundown of some new features we have added:
1. Facebook Integration: Facebook users can now access SadakMap without needing to register for an account. This opens up a slew of networking related applications for us…
2. Blog-like comments: All marks on the map can now be commented on by the general public (no login required) similar to blogs. So feel like adding to the information listed for a place, just enter your comments and let everyone know.
3. EDITING: You can now edit the places you added to the map. We have provided a rich-text-editor so you can add color, images, etc to jazz up your content. Login to you account and under “My Account” you will see a “My Places” selection. Clicking on that will give you a list of all the places you have added.
4. Minor change: added 2 more categories (banks/atms and petrol pumps).
Our enterprise-facing framework is ready and we have started pitching it to the likes of banks and auto centers to provide location lookup service on SadakMap. If you know someone who can use this framework and are willing to get us introduced do drop me a line.
Thanks again for blazing the trail with us. Use SadakMap more often to talk about the good/bad experiences you have had with local businesses. Post messages on your street to talk to your neighbors (better virtual than never). Build vibrant communities around you.
Cheers,
Unmesh.
