“Local search is a crowded space, but there isnt a clear leader yet. ” well I beg to differ with this bcoz i feel justdial is way ahead of the competition getting almost 2lakh calls for local info every single day and more than 2 lakh hits to its website for various info. Now i agree its not organised the way locomi is for anybody can try out from ny city and compare justdial vth locomi ………..just dial beats locomi like nything ….

@ Shivya – Glad you think the application has potential. While expanding into other social networks is definitely something we are looking at – we also need to keep in mind the demographics that these SNS’ target and whether we can get the requisite data to serve them. We too are excited about getting Locomi on other mobile platforms. Its a great opportunity, and a challenge. Hopefully we’ll be up to it.

@ balaji – Thanks for the encouragement! Help us spread the word!

@ Pranav: Completely agree with you. Work is going on full throttle for Orkut at the moment. You should hear from us regarding this in the next few weeks!

@ ravi,

I’d give precedence to orkut app and getting the viral effect going — just like chakpak.

iphone app can probably take a backseat for now.

I’m giving Locomi a try. It has great potential, especially when you’re living in a foreign country and are always at a lack of places in your vicinity. I’m not going to afford an iPhone anytime soon, so I hope they’re working on a humble phone app too.

Besides tapping into Facebook’s user base, I think they should consider venturing into Asian social networks, the likes of Cyworld and QQ. Good luck to the folks at Locomi
