Finally local search comes to Indian mobiles

Posted on June 5, 2007 by prasanth

mobilelocalsearch1This is a new website called Owap.in which I recently knew about. Its made for mobile, so loads quite fast on mobiles with gprs connection. At present only the major cities are covered. You can search for all kind of stuff, hospitals, theatres, hotels, ATM, cyber cafe etc. Just give what you want and the area in which you want it, and it will give you the details, rather than giving you another website it give you the address of the thing you asked for, it even has a link where you can click to call the particular result.mobilelocalsearch2Which is a great help because you don’t have to write the number down just to call. if you search for a movie theatre it will give you the movie that is currently playing, show timings and its ratings too, which is really nice. Its not 100% accurate it still misses many small business. But still for someone in a new city this website will be of great help. Hopefully they will include more cities soon.
