Speaking at a press conference here earlier in the day, chief operating officer of the Youflik Social Net Connect Pvt Ltd Pradeep Reddy said that the networking site, which would be the first Indian-based networking site, had been developed in a time span of 3-4 months, and was developed on scripting languages such as PHP and JavaScript, with the help of HTML and My SQL.
He said that the unique features in the site in terms of design and technology included single page interface, horizontal scrolling tab and single page application.
In the beta version, features such as Streetside, blood group finder are being launched, and other entertainment features such as Photag, Movies will be included thereafter in the future. The site also includes regular features included in other sites (Facebook, Twitter) such as Timefeed, Timelog, My profile, Status update etc. The networking site also cuts down on loading time and loads faster, he informed.
