TagMyCity.com is officially live. Kinan worked day and night doing last minute fixes and enhancements to get the website ready for launch. TagMyCity (TMC) gives a unique twist to social networking. Unlike other social networks that focus on people, TMC casts the focus on events and places.
This list highlights some of TMC features:
- Search places such as restaurants, bars, clubs, spas, etc.
- Get place information: address, rating, price range, payment options, dress code, parking, etc
- Create user profile
- Rate and review places
- Upload pictures of places and users
- Create events calendar or attend existig events
- SMS notification of events (coming soon)
- Create groups and social networking (coming soon)
TMC’s calendar shows the event’s name, date, time, and address. It also gives a description and category. And it provides a list of all the users that plan to attend the event.
As of now, TMC services the Dallas (DFW) area. More cities will be available in the near future. Dallas area residents or people planning to visit Dallas can get the scoop on BigD. Users can search Dallas restaurants, clubs, bars, spas, art galleries, shops, hotels, etc. Users are encouraged to upload photos and stories from these locations. TMC lets users share their experiences with the rest of the world.
TMC also provides users with maps and driving directions using Google maps. All the activities are real time which means when a user review a place or add an event, the information will be available on the website right away with no moderation.
More features are in the works, and the TMC crew is always thinking of ways to improve the website. Please sign up and let us know what you like, what you don’t like…let us know anything we can do to maximize your(the user’s) experience.
