Ocasta Labs are pleased to support Vodafone R&D in their deployment of Agora, a new breed of social marketplace.
Agora allows people to buy and sell goods on a much more social level than standard e-auction sites. Chatting about purchases is encouraged, bartering is allowed and the whole service is mobile optimised using location and integrated to a phone’s handset capabilities. First demonstrated at MobileMonday London, the service is now available to the general public. The initial launch of Agora is for Android handsets, the client application being available on Google’s Android market by searching for Agora.
The Agora service was jointly developed by Vodafone R&D and Ocasta Labs. Ocasta Labs provided OcastaTrade as the service infrastructure and client engineering resources.
More information on the project can be found at Vodafone’s Betavine web site:
