Taking a bite of global social media search pie
S'pore start-up claims to be first to offer such search on multiple platforms
SINGAPORE start-up Holatastic Pte Ltd has jumped onto the social media search bandwagon. It claims to be the first in the market to offer social media content search on multiple platforms - iOS, Android and the Web.
Its locally developed offering, Kurrants, was launched in November to enable free searches of hashtags and text in different languages on Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr. It is expected to include photo and video searches as well as more sites such as Facebook, Google+ and Pinterest later this year.
Kurrants was conceived as a personal project in 2013 by Holatastic's co- founders Ian Poh, Jeff Au and Song Young. They wanted more out of social media search engines to satisfy their appetite for the latest news and updates on their pet topics.
