Alike is a keyword driven, proximity based search engine for mobile or tool for tag geo-fencing.
Use this app to locate users by specific keywords or post your own tags to be found by others.

Type a keyword in the search field, define the radius and see on the map posts pertaining to your desired keyword. These are visible on the map as image thumbnails. The tags can be sorted by proximity, name, price or the date of the posting. You can communicate with the owner of the tag in the detailed view of the posting by sending a friend request, message or media files.

You might not be able to find the right keyword close enough to your location the first time - but if you save your search, set the radius and then move around, you will continue getting notifications every time a user with that tag enters your proximity.

Create your own posting in two clicks by submitting the keyword and marking it as something that you “have” or you “want”. In Advanced posting you can add extras; such as, an image, additional text description, and color code each posting in categories like Interests, Personals or Things.

Alike’s Day-timer lets you select the duration and specific days of the week to keep Alike postings active. Posts can then appear in searches at specific days and time, and not be available on others.

Alike’s Geo Phishing is a way to create a continuous search for a keyword within a desired radius or “tag geo-fencing”. This community bulletin board is empowered with real time geolocation features that allows you to select keyword results by proximity, perform continuous searches and send push notifications on their entrance into the desired radius.

Promote Alike is a feature that allows you to boost the visibility of your post by promoting it in search results with the words that you choose to be relevant. If you post ‘apples’, you might think that people shopping for ‘pears’ might be interested. Just choose those additional words and select for how many days you want to pay for promotion.

Alike Social lets you create groups around keywords. This is an easy way to get to know people with the same interest in any neighborhood, meet new friends or find groups of interest in your local town. For closer networking the postings can be visible to friends or group members only, approved members can send group messages or share your posting on social media.

In the world where web becomes mobile and iBeacon and Internet of Things allows localized objects to flag themselves by keywords, Alike is the best solution to define the search radius and navigate through the information you need. Alike is a new generation tool for search and social interactions that allows you to surf the world of geo-tagging from your mobile phone, tablet or through the fully integrated web browser.
