Micello allows users to search and explore “inside” places

micelloMicello, a revolutionary mobile application that allows users to explore and navigate “inside” places of interest using an iPhone, was showcased at DEMOfall 09 in San Diego.

Micello has built a database of maps of places people go to; shopping malls, college campuses, convention centers etc, and allows users to access, navigate and explore those places using their mobile phones.

In addition, by integrating social networking services into the application, Micello brings together all the activity happening inside a building where people gather.

“The maps today bring you to the door. We take you inside the place. It’s the last mile, the unchartered territory. We are building the foundation for indoor location based services and creating an eco-system similar to what’s happening in the outdoor space,” said Ankit Agarwal, Founder and CEO of Micello. “Micello is really all about people, places and events at indoor locations. What’s happening here and who is here now,” he added.

“I can see an industry emerging around what Micello has started. Innovations in location technologies will help them provide new and exciting services to businesses and consumers alike,” said Chris Shipley, Executive Producer of the DEMO Conferences. “The indoor space offers an engaged audience of people who want information that is both location and time sensitive. Micello certainly has an innovative approach to fill this need,” she added.

“Our data driven architecture enables us to deploy new communities rapidly. We render highly personalized maps and allow our users quickly access high value data,” said Prakash Narayan, Co-founder and CTO of Micello.

Micello’s vision is to bring all the interesting places in the world available for you to navigate and explore on your mobile device. Leveraging its tag line “Your Phone is Your Network”™, Micello delivers a unique rich media application that enables a user to interact with different places using a mobile phone.

What if you could redesign Google’s homepage?

One of our key goals at WebMynd is to give you more control over your search experience. Our first steps toward that were to outfit our add-on with our own set of customizable search interfaces. Now we’re excited to announce our next step: RedesignGoogle.

RedesignGoogle lets you completely customize the look of Google Search by installing user-submitted designs from an online gallery. A stripped-down version of the WebMynd add-on applies your installed stylesheet whenever you’re on a Google search results page. (You can enable WebMynd’s other features if you like, but they’re turned off by default.)

Currently, RedesignGoogle is available for Firefox, and we’ll be releasing versions of the add-on for other browsers soon.

If you’re a designer, this is your chance to revamp the most widely used service on the web. Anything that can be manipulating using CSS can be changed with RedesignGoogle; here are a couple of examples of what’s possible. We offer a web-based CSS editor for creating and previewing your designs, but you’re free to use your preferred tools — just paste your stylesheet into the editor when you’re ready to apply it to your own searches and publish it to the Gallery.

Most exciting of all: we’ll be holding a competition to find the best user-submitted designs.

The winner will receive a new MacBook Air; runners-up will get something cool too.

Designs will be judged by Paul Graham, the WebMynd team, and a few others TBA.

Stay tuned for more details and official rules.
