Press Release Summary: . Introduces new features like Discussion forums, Resume upload for Job classifieds and Response via SMS . Targets student housing during admission process
Press Release Body: New Delhi, May 28, 2008: SearchMyCampus.com, India's first online classifieds portal for students, released Version 2.0 of the website today. Apart from an entirely new layout, the new version contains a host of additional features including discussion forums and SMS responses. 'We have added some features that students felt were lacking in Version 1 of SearchMyCampus, and revamped the design to give it a fresh, vibrant look,' says Vidhi Agrawal, Head Marketing and Sales, SearchMyCampus.com. SearchMyCampus.com was created with a view to bring the traditional campus noticeboard online. The idea is to provide students with a virtual platform where they can advertise their basic needs such as housing, jobs, books, tuitions, carpools. Other students or service providers can respond to these advertisements if they think they can meet the stated need. A student looking for accommodation, for instance, could post an advertisement describing his/her budget, preferred location and required facilities. Accommodation providers who have rooms that meet the criteria would respond and they could thus transact to mutually fulfill each other's needs. In the new version various features have been introduced such as Discussion forums, to provide students with an additional platform to interact with each other for mutual benefit. Apart from the new features, changes in the layout and upgrades to several existing features have been made to improve user experience. A significant addition to the Jobs category has been the option provided for students to upload their resumes when posting an advertisement. Posting notices has been made easier with the introduction of user accounts and SMS facilities. Users can choose to receive responses via SMS or e-mail based on their preference. Search facilities have become far more comprehensive, making it easier for users to locate exactly what they need.
About SearchMyCampus.com The concept behind SearchMyCampus.com has already been validated by the positive response generated by its initial version and the addition of these new features should strengthen the website's hold on the student population in India. In less than 6 months, SearchMyCampus has extended its network to include over 50 campuses in more than 15 cities across India.
