Aloqa: Localised Content Mobile App Launches with New CEO from Google
We received a tip this morning that Aloqa.com will be announcing a new CEO tomorrow and it will be Sanjeev Agrawal (former Head of Google Product Marketing). The appointment will be announced at MobileBeat and it will state that Sanjeev is the new CEO as well as an Aloqa series A funding and limited Android beta.
Aloqa’s context-aware application has solved two problems for mobile users: 1) it takes away the need to type search terms into browsers or other mobile applications to find something, 2) it proactively pushes out recommendations about social network friends nearby and interesting local opportunities to users on the go. Wherever they are, users can simply glance at their phones and see which friends, favorite businesses, events like music concerts, local offers and other interesting places are close by, without having to launch a browser or search application. Aloqa takes into account the user’s location, preferences and social relationships to make these recommendations in real time.
Aloqa’s Twitter (http://twitter.com/aloqahq) and Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Aloqa/93595048591) pages will become active once these announcements take place.
