After Facebook, its time to jump into jumpbook. Facebook has now got
new competitor from India called Jumpbook. Two brothers, Nilay &
Ankur Singh from Bihar, India have launched an all new social networking
website jumpbook.in to
compete with Facebook. The brothers are operating from a one room
apartment from patna. Two brothers who spoke to CNN-IBN said that their
website offers a lot more features than Facebook does.
Jumpbook is supposed to be a five-in-one according to the brothers.
Besides basic sharing and posting, Jumpbook offers a marketplace, a quiz
application, forum and a blog platform as well. Jumpbook seems to be a
mashup of Facebook and Orkut and even looks very much similar to Mark
Zuckerberg's website. Facing financial hardships, the two learnt website
designing from a local computer institute. Nilay had quit his
engineering course to let his brother complete his education. Since then
the two have been working towards creating Facebook's competition.
Ankur Singh told CNN-IBN " We are facing challenges on the financial
side, we need funds to increase server capacity." . In the time frame of
only four months, they attracted 25000+ users but their server crashed
as it was not prepared to handle this capacity at a time. The two are
now seeking investment to take their dream forward.
Nilay added, " We are planning to launch this on a huge scale and we
need some investors to invest in our website so that we can market our
website to a certain level to advance to a big entrepeneurs from Bihar."
There is no doubt that the website is in need of improvement. But you
can upload pictures, write status messages, insert polls and even post
songs on the site. Apart from these, you can search through classifields
ads and connect with users you would like to purchase something off.
There is also a game and apps section in the website .
