Android Application Spotlight: Beetaun
Android release has brought in many many opportunities from all sides – users, developers etc.. We’re gonna focus on an application that is not only innovation-ally new in principle but has potential to change “social tourism“. Many times we here of great ideas that are either not implemented effectively or released upon us prematurely ( yes, there can be times when we dont require it ).
Social Networking utilizing location based services have apparently taken the mobile world by storm. With the rumors going as far as Motorola coming up with a handset aimed at social networking utilizing Android.
On the Spotlight today: Beetaun
Beetaun is a social networking application with a twist. It takes the acclaimed features of social networking like friends, messages and adds geographical dimension to it. No, its not just friends adding their homes on a map, its more..
You basically choose specific location and look up in its integrated Map for new shared spots and their comments about it. It could be anything, maybe a vintage coffee shop that you never new existed in your city that no book talks about. There could be a ghetto dinner place that’s still open after midnight outside of Law radar. You get bored one fine day at some location and you hit Beetaun and see what interesting spots are around you. A feedback from users about locations is always more preferable than tourist guides and books which we frankly have given up long time ago.
The website beetaun.com has this to say about itself:
One of the basic units of interest (among others) in Beetaun will be “place”. We think that each place should be related to some interesting fact that others may not know for example. And we will make an efforts to filter such places.
We hope to create a scalable, multidimensional service with great user interface and user-related features. Great user experience is one of our main objectives.
Coming from CodingAndriod.com – software development studio dedicated to Android, Beetaun is the finalist of Google Android Developer Challenge and has been listed in the Top 15 Killer Application by PC World. A terrific initiative indeed thats suited not only for travellers but also locals.
stay tuned for an interview with the makers of Beetaun!
