LiveVana social networking solution provides a platform to consumers for connecting with friends, family and associates, while on-the-go. The solution supports various mobile platforms including Blackberry, iPhone, Android, Symbian, Brew, J2ME and WindowsCE, leading to higher penetration in consumers.

The solution possesses all requisites of a mobile social networking tool, including:

• Privacy: Users have complete control over who can see their location.
• Easy-to-use: The user-interface is very intuitive, hence does not require any learning.
• Flexiblity: Users can access the solution while being on-the-go, in the office, or at home.
• Surprise element: Users can get alerted when their friends are in vicinity. The solution can also suggest meeting place options depending on user interest.

The solution has a map display for location of registered friends. The maps are supported by a rich-content GIS platform having information of all famous Points-Of-Interest (POIs). The displayed POIs are also customized according to user profile, including POI sets of his interest, knowledge and understanding.

The solution can be accessed using SMS, IVR, USSD, web or smart mobile client. Accessibility over IVR especially makes the solution more usable across less mobile-literate user base.
