Open Social Product Launched!

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Mastiff has proudly launched its open social application “Blood Search” on Orkut.

Blood Search (link to application)

Open Social Application - Blood Search

Blood Search is a unique application on Orkut to enables users to search blood in their friend list. The concept is not to give an area wise search of users who are willing to donate, but dig in your friends network so that there is an assurance that you will get it when asked.

Many people have been requesting us to open up search across cities. But we are not enabling that feature as it is not the core idea behind the application.

How?
Precondition:
Need to be a member of Orkut.

Steps:

  1. Go to the applications directory of Orkut.
  2. Search for “Blood Search”
  3. Application named “Blood Search” will be listed.
  4. Add that Application
  5. Update your blood details.
  6. Search for Blood Groups in your network.
  7. In the list of people that are already listed in search, you can go to their profile and Search again.
  8. So the Search is endless.

Demo of this application can be viewed here.
