smsearch
Short Message Search (or SMSearch) is a search service aimed at mobile users with no access to internet. SMSearch want to bridge the gap between data and the ones needing it. Users simply have to send their query by SMS to receive meaningful informations by the same means. The service is focused on consumable goods, providing descriptions, prices, tips and other insights. The informations collected in the database are based on real-life observations, obtained with close cooperation with productors and sellers.
