The social applications trend is moving towards socializing around common interests and geographic locations rather than just people. This made two guys believe that they can take social networking applications to a next level. They said “why don’t we link the online and the offline worlds and build a social place where people can virtually leave posts and stories on any object or place – online or offline – instead of just posting things about them on websites. These stories can stay there forever and can travel from one person to another”. Those guys developed a social application for that purpose and named it “Yadget”.

When it comes to traveling, time is very limited and making every second count is key. Keeping that in mind, we have developed AskNative, a mobile application for question answering that allows users to seek/share travel and cultural knowledge with natives around the world, through the user’s social network account.
The application works for both the traveler and the resident native: the traveler may want to save money, may not know about deals or offers in the country he/she is interested in visiting because of not having subscribed to natives in that country. AskNative would then share offers that may be of interest to the traveler concerning his/her destination. As for the other side, the native may enjoy connecting with others outside of his/her country with the same interests, raising awareness about one’s own culture and country. For extra convenience, contact between the traveler and the native may be held anonymously.
