So yesterday, I talked about hITEC, The other project I was working on is called MoMedia. This project was similar to “Video On The Wall“, more generalized, more Mobile based and had Social Networking at its heart. Here are some details from our notes:

• To create a location based blogging service for Mobile Phones (You can upload Images, Videos, Text or Audio)
• Provide an engaging UI for users to view other people in the neighborhood who are blogging from the same platform.
• Create a social networking experience by allowing users to follow others(twitter anyone?), add other users as friends/fellow workers etc.
• Integrate the network with Facebook, Orkut, twitter so that status updates can be propagated to all networks. (Friendfeed ? - I guess so just  that when we thought of the idea, it wasn’t there)
• Provide users with a blog and allow users to specify their own blogs like wordpress and blogger so that posts can be posted their directly without any action on user’s part.

The screen shots follow after the break.

Main Screen:

The three user modes and textbox for direct text updates…

The Map Mode(Neighborhood):

The neighbors are shown in green marker with the current user in blue. Navigation happens by taps on the markers and by up/down keys.

The Friends Mode

A list of friends you have added… This is pretty much same as one of the demos given with android distribution.

Unfortunately we could not fully implement the idea and so not much chance of winning there.
