ApnaCafe is a social networking tool that helps Desi people to connect with other Desi's around the world and share information with them. ApnaCafe allows users to set up profiles and communicate with one another using regional languages including Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Tamil, Telugu and Arabic.
The main focus of the site is to empower the online Desi community and allow members to share information in a comfortable environment. ApnaCafe was primarily started to consolidate all Desi-specific core applications and as a platform to bring friends from different networking sites together in one place, giving users many powerful features with a Desi identity. As with other networking sites, ApnaCafe’s clean design and user-friendly layout enables users to share information online the same way they do in the real world. They can connect with friends, find people with shared interests, join groups, send messages, share videos, compose blogs, write movie reviews and post photos. In addition to the innumerable data-sharing features, ApnaCafe employs a points system that rewards users for surfing the site. As users accumulate points, they can redeem them for electronics, DVDs, music and books using the site’s shopping system. The site also makes it simple to incorporate users’ other social networking accounts into their ApnaCafe profile. Anyone can import contact lists, address books and display their Twitter feeds and write scraps similar to Orkut on their profiles, all in their own languages. Users can also register for ApnaCafe using Facebook, which pulls all the information from their Facebook profile to establish an ApnaCafe profile quickly and easily. ApnaCafe's Single Sign-On (SSO) technology helps sign-in to ApnaCafe very easily using an account you already have at Facebook, AOL, Google/Gmail, Yahoo, Microsoft Live, Twitter, MySpace, OpenID, Blogger, WordPress, Flickr, LiveJournal, and Hyves. ApnaCafe launched in April 2009, and it's one of the fastest growing Desi social networking website. ApnaCafe is headquartered and operated from Reston, Virginia. |
