New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/22/2011 -- Taap.it (http://taap.it) let local businesses create their own on-line, mobile marketplace.
Social Listing, the location-aware classified advertising app launched at TechCrunch Disrupt 2011, has given itself a new, more fluid appellation. It now calls itself Taap.it, which is a far better name, search-wise. But this is more than just a rebranding.
“Taap.it will let local businesses create their own on-line, mobile marketplace. From what I understand, it’s a way for small retailers to share their inventory with the public.” said Andy Green, Editor at The Technoverse Blog. “The critical metric is distance—consumers will be able to see for themselves on their iPhone and and Android smart devices what’s available on the shelves of nearby stores.”
The app makes it easy to contact the seller via phone or email with just a tap. Taap.it is offering a rich mobile app that combines a few of the key ingredients in Foursquare, Instagram, and Craigslist.
Whether you want to sell a used car or sublet your apartment, Taap.it offers a simple, fast and free way that can get the job done within a few clicks. It’s classified advertisements, reinvented on your phone.
“It is so fast and easy to use,” said Duy Huynh, Product Manager at Taap.it. “Taap.it turns those boring classified ads into more social, fun, and most importantly – instant local purchases.”
Via Taap.it, you will be able to find nearby hot classifieds from your phone with a few taps. All classifieds are sorted by distance from where you are. Once you see something you like, you can tap to call or email the seller immediately.
“Taap.it gives us the power of immediate purchase,” said Duy Huynh. “When I buy something, I want to buy it right now from people who are within 500 feet from me. Local newspapers couldn’t do it. Craigslist couldn’t do it either. Taap.it will completely change how we browse and shop locally.”
Posting an ad is also quick and easy. Take a photo of the item you want to post, whether you want to sell a used TV or rent a room in your apartment, enter some information, and instantly share with nearby Taap.it users, Facebook, and Twitter.
The official Taap.it app will available on both iPhone and Android on June 21, 2011.
