Great
who is the owner ?
I tried their mobile demo.. looks cool.
Will like to know more about the similar services which are available for other cities also (like Lucknow). Its a pain to search for the movie times or new restaurants.
It would be nice if one can get the locations of ATMs, fuel stations etc but not restricted to particular cites.
It is then a very expensive search engine, costing 3 bucks per SMS i.e. per search. Google is free and its mobile products make it possible to search for results for free.
