6. Koprol is a location-based social networking site, aimed for Indonesians. It tells you where your friends are and what they’re doing, and more interestingly, who’s nearby and what’s happening around you.
7. Like favorite social sites, you can share your “status” or short posts, but with location!
8. You can post photos you just took, and add comments to create interesting discussions
9. Search a place by typing whatever you can think of. Restaurant, mall, neighborhood.

42. Consumers Not just a people locator. It’s a social network of consumers. Not just a technical tool, but actually a network of people sharing consumer info (Photo: Satya W)
43. Platform independent For everyone Does not require any particular brand of device, it’s for anybody with a computer or mobile phone.
44. We’re one of you. We listen. We make products that people like ourselves would use (Photo: Kania)
