Khojpal

Khojpal is an application for creating online announcements that are viewable in a bounded geographical area and a search engine to locate such announcements for cooperation with people in your vicinity. It is also an application to find places of interest near you as well as local information.

Similar to real posters you see on the walls in public places, a vPoster™, "Virtual Poster On the Wall", is geographically constrained and hence is visible only in the region it is meant for. Such a vPoster can be made for making announcements of any nature: "need a likeminded person for a hobby activity", "find a partner to carpool", "need a sports buddy", "want buyer for my old books" or even to find answers for "what is interesting nearby?" , "what is happening in my area?" or "how do we fix bad road conditions?" etc.

The best part about Khojpal is that the content that is posted is created by people living in your locality and hence is relevant and useful to you.

Khojpal can proactively inform a user about interesting places nearby as you travel across city or state. This is done using background location service, Khojpal Wandering Service. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
