Localmind

The uncertainty of not knowing what's in a bar can discourage the user from visiting it. To find out your environment and what's happening it's no longer necessary to call, with the application Localminda direct line is created between users who are in that place and the one being informed A tool very useful and curiousfor those who want to plan a good time and not be surprised.

The service offered by Localmind is largely reminiscent of the application Foursquare In the same way, it is possible to register a position (do check-in ) so that Localmind allows you to receive messages from users interested in that place All through a connection to Internet, and technology GPS of the smartphones In addition, it is possible to access this service from your web page

The first thing to do as soon as you start Localmind is to create a user account This step is somewhat peculiar, since it forces the user to have an account on other social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare or Gowalla to be able to sign and use LocalmindOnce this is done, an application is presented with four general tabs that comfortably structure the functions of this curious service.

The first one is called Localminds Here it is possible to see the locals nearby , at a configurable radius away, for which you can ask. By clicking on any of them it is possible to know its location on a Google Maps map and its address But the important thing happens after pressing the button Send question Here you can send a message with any type of question about the ambiance, the menu, the treatment, etc

The tab Questions collects all messages received when you are in a place for which information is requested.For its part, in the section Activity you can see the questions about nearby places to the user's location to serve as a suggestion. This recommendation system is similar to Foursquare also because of the way it rewards active users , since karma points are received for each question answered.

This is currently a service in beta development phase, so it is not fully functional, however it seems like an idea to say the least curious and useful We will have to wait a little longer to see what happens in the stores in our country The application is now available for download for both mobile phones Android as for iPhone In addition, you can get completely free from the Android Market and iTunes
