"all actual life is encounter"
martin buber, philosopher
aka-aki is all about the people who really surround you in your everyday life. aka-aki shows you pictures, common friends and interests of the people nearby. instantly on your mobile phone! now you can discover new and interesting people everywhere.
we don't want your money
aka-aki is free. you don't have to pay a thing, neither for the aka-aki mobile software nor for your membership. but the aka-aki mobile does need an internet connection. for this your network operator offers affordable data packages you can add to your plan. most iPhone and blackberry users have such a package already included in their plan and can use aka-aki with it.
no more missed chances
aka-aki remembers who has crossed your path recently. you will see who has been nearby and when. and afterwards you can easily get in contact with them. thats your second chance! or the replacement of the business card.
on the go with your friends
with aka-aki your friends are always with you. you can send and receive free text messages with your mobile or using the website. your status updates show the other members what you are up to right now and can also be twittered automatically.
invisible - whenever you wish to be
and if you are not in the mood for being discovered by others: just activate the "magic cap" with one simple click on your mobile. this makes you invisible for other members.
my mobile phone can't handle that anyway. it can!
you can use aka-aki with almost any modern mobile phone. the free software is available as java-version, for iPhone/iPod touch and for blackberry. and soon for google android, too.
aka-aki is international
aka-aki is already available to iPhone users in german, english, french, italian and spanish, and more languages are set to follow. our translation agency Easytrans24.com will also be supporting us as we gradually make our website more international.
