I was inspired to create this topic after several attempts to log in to my 2go account: I think they are having some scalablity issues with the 20million user base. So, I thought over it: 2go was founded and created in South Africa and it's one of the trending socializer in Africa right now! But in the real outright: the app sucks, it's just as simple as that. No webapp,no cross-platform availability, notin notin. Why not organize a team of Naija coders to create the next big thing in Africa! So who's in for this ?

there is one thing for sure: YES WE CAN: Seun is doing it right now:NL and we can even go bigger, cross the border, anything is possible. Also PHP;scalable DB skills are needed in addition to the J2ME. So, I'm waiting for those ready for this before I say the next thing on ma mind. Are you in for this?

@OP, that is highly thoughtful of you,but however, projects like this dont always reach completion if not for that you would've seen coders jumping in. i am not well versed in mobile applications development i would've opted in...this is my submission

Am in

Is it gona b an open source or wot?

Yeah I like one sentence you said "we can even go bigger".. I always have that runing through my mind daily but will require real hardwork, time and patience though..

Am in... But let us know those who are interested in it...

Cool keen interest and cool profile pics

if u're in then drop a mail at g9kate@gmail.com: of course it's not gonna be open source 'cos we wouldn't like people to mess around with clones. When u're sending the mail indicate your programming area of concentration( but have it in mind that we need j2me gurus). Then after having a few people on board, we 'll be coding in a sort of private repos.....let's get started.

errmm... If you use j2me for this stuff, you are going to end up with another 2go..

You want an application that rocks and you are already thinking technology (J2ME). Brother that is not the way to go. You complain that 2go does not have a web site, and you already lock yourself into the same error.

You don't need to talk client specifically. Talk on what you think will make you a better provider of chat. Have you found a better algorithm to reduce the data size being sent back and forth. Do you think you will do a better job than whatapp, ebuddy and nimbuzz.

Do you also realize that chat is really not a profitable business per say. Have you thought of how you are going to make money to sustain the 24/7 servers that a chat application requires.

If you have the answers to this, then count me in.

if j2me is not the saviour, i respect and i am willing to accept your recommendation: afterall it's all for success. Concerning scalability: i can handle the costs and I'm ready for it. I'll be expecting your mail at g9kate(at)gmail.com

You got mail g9kate

gozzilla: You got mail g9kate

sure, i'll get back shortly

Do you think there aren't guys doing that already? Just wait and see, I bet you in the next few years, you'll a lot coming... and to be frank, nairaland sucks on pc, but best on mobile platforms... If Seun Osewa ain't careful... Nairaland will be history in the next 5yrs just like myspace.com

Yep. You are very correct. Sometimes I just force myself using mobile phone to browse the internet just because of nairaland even if it is not what I really enjoy doing. Can't get my eyes shrinked because of nairaland..! Always on mobile keys with nairaland. Let hope it is amended bcoz the guys already use to it really don't care
