Hip hop ho!
We have released the CityEvents portal for Bangalore. With a lot of anticipation to this release we have set ourselves a strong vision of being truly local.

CityEvents is a dedicated portal for all the events and happenings around the city (currently Bangalore.)

You can search for events based on Area or your neighbourhood, based on the category of interest, based on the date and even with the combinations above. With the CityEvents our enduring commitment is that we are can create a platform where local events can be showcased and accessed.

A ‘jaatre’ to a wild party, an exhibition to a graduation day, sports to discount sales our users will be able to find them all. Also we have the subscribe option where in you can subscribe to the category/interest of events and we will keep you updates via SMS or mail!

You will also find useful information about the venues, the approx auto fare, the Bus routes to the venue, parking details and so on! On a larger view we want your experience of attending events to be comfortable and quick!

As a user you can add any event, edit any event, add a venue and even edit an existing venue!
We believe that as CityZens you are equipped with accurate and extensive information about the happenings of the city.

Looking forward to your feedbacks and comments on the latest offering from Yulop.
Get going! Let’s spot you at an event. (www.cityevents.yulop.com)

We are happy to get this through just-in-time! It was long pending, to get Cityfind on to a new look, to improve on the standards of relevant search and refinement options for each of the business listings. And now it’s done!

We must congratulate the content team for showing lot of momentum in pulling out the 50k listing mark very recently. Cityfind is tagged with AJAX for a sleek process and a brand new look.

To give you the picture how CityFind works well with refinement option, I have searched ” Dosa in Jayanagar”, the results could be much more filtered, with categories [fast food,south indian] where Dosa *keyword* would be found and further a second level of refinement for each category selected [ex: veg,parking].

Cityfind is very special indeed for the effort it takes to geo code each listing, eventually allowing the user to search the keyword based on the distance measured from the source point [in KM's].

We have been working very hard to make CityFind the perfect launchpad for every business listing, and thanks for all the support which is been rendered. Having said that we always look for your feedbacks and suggestions!

Cheers All!

I’am Swami. Swami from Yulop.

It’s 10.30 in the morning and the occasion is just right. With the blessing of Lord Ganesha we start off to showcase what we have always believed in. I have found a new home and look forward to your presence @ www.bengaluru.yulop.com

Bengaluru.Yulop.com is a whole hearted initiative to get all the City-zens [ok ok all the city goers!] online and to share a platform which will facilitate interaction, provide ground for civic sense, provide basic handy information @ a mouse click and all the above using simple & innovative web technologies.

We believe that a ‘City’ has much more to offer. To have a say, to be able to find things that you need the most, to voice out your opinion, to explore the City,to enable people stay connected to the City!

Here is a small list of things which will help you improve and enrich your city life:

• CityFind
  Enables you to search local listing with they being plotted on the maps! Yes, find a dry cleaner,a poojari, a pub , a dhaba and much much more. You can specify the area if you wish to. (List is long.. Jayanagar, MG Road..so on!)

  Empowering every citizen to be a City Reporter. News thats local, news that’s driven by people like you and me from every nook and corner of the city. Be it Tyagarajanagar or Indiranagar. You are a web journalist too!
• CityEvents
  Have you ever hunted for a right place or event to be in? Ever wondered where a play is happening, where can I spend quality time on a Sunday evening? Well, CityEvents help you to just do that. Explore the varied CityEvents, add a few if you know, after-all its the sharing and rating that will help us all eventually.

  Seeing a city through the lens is altogether a different experience. From culture & heritage to schools and nightlife, have a virtual walk through entire Bangalore.

YTech stands for Yulop Tech Team.. What you see is what we write.. So ultimately the tech team is responsible for all the WOWs and GoofUps(Of Course it is our job to cover up these)..

So the Team is :

Sri : The person who has handled every single module and bit of code so far.. From Abhi’s words and my experience, he motivates and guides damn well.. Talks too much!

Abhi : The other new kid on the block.. Picked up where Sri left off in the development side and is taking the modules beyond where they were..

Jay : Fresh out of college and a character who gels with one and all.. (Aargh : I cant write about my self!)

WIP defined as WORK IN PROGRESS,

You dont believe me? This was some Intense work that was going on late!

Since Monday was officially the start of Operations, Ideas have been flowing in.

So we had our First-Firsts.

1. Our first ever meeting was held yesterday with 6 people

2. Our first idea was discussed with some obvious direction

3. Our first module/code was written today

As you can see, We also Smile!

And so the journey begins….To Overcome Obstacles.. To Innovate..

The Quest to bring the web to the world.. So i’ll jusy give you an idea of things so far….

1. We got an Air Cooler and a Water Dispenser..

2. We got Chairs, Furniture, Stationary..

3. We got people to work on different stuff ..

4. We got Sid and Sri!

On a serious note, None of the above(Except ofcourse Point No. 4) matter much..

We got what we need.. PASSION, IDEAS, ENTHUSIASM, EXCITEMENT!

As this weekend fades into a new week, We Begin.. We Develop!
