Toozla management forecasts the 2010 year as the year of mobile technology and social network synergy. All the features of social networks will be implemented on mobile platforms what makes people always connected to the social knowledge base. The winners of this technology synergy will the the teams which offer the breakthrough ideas to extend traditional networks with new functions.
One of such ideas was implemented by Toozla. It’s the location-based social network of users, where they leave audio notes on nearby objects. It’s the community of audio-guide professionals who provide their input in creating smart planet. It’s the cutting edge technologies mush-up which provide audio-browsing of the World.
Toozla links information to real objects including everything from whole cities to buildings to phone boxes. The links are virtual, so the tool has no impact on the look of the area. An unlimited amount of information can be stored, because we are not limited to the size of a specific piece of paper or book.
Mobile phone users can access all of this information. The information is provided in audio format, so users can walk around and look at their surroundings, rather than having to read text on a small screen.
Users are also able to record their opinions, which then instantly become available to everybody. The tool is made as simple as possible for a tourist.
Toozla already implemented a dozen of professional guides for European cities.
