Google India has launched NoticeBoard, an app to improve social interaction within communities. The app is a Firefox extension and enables users to send messages to a public ‘noticeboard’. The message can be either text based, voice based or SMS.
Each noticeboard contains publicly accessible messages, the goal being to interact publicly with the community. A sample use case for the app would be like a noticeboard for residents of an apartment complex, where the noticeboard could be used for community wide postings and announcements.
The app seems to be using Google Gears, since the downloaded messages can be accessed while being offline.
They way I see it, Google Noticeboard is simply a glorified forum and nothing more.
What do you think ?
