We do mobile search engine as advertised in our site. The v1.0 release is scheduled for Jun 30. The core objective of finding stuff on your mobile is very similar to, for example
Snowball Commandro etc., If you look at our mobeegal.in website, mobeegal will help you find things in various categories like dating, shopping etc., which is exactly what you are looking for to build on top of your Snowball server. I'll say we have a lot of similarities on the whole mobile search concept, which is not at all surprising given the mobile social networking space. One difference is mobeegal will use LBS while Snowball seems to avoid this. The other major difference of course would be on how our servers are built, and what they do exactly. If your API becomes public, we might also consider using mobeegal to talk to Snowball for location sensitive information and perform the search. On top of the domain specifc software that is getting build, I'm also seeing developers doing the same location, social networking related code again and again. May be, this is one area where people in the mobile social networking can work together and probably help each other out. Collaboration is possible among products of similar interests. We just need to figure out how.
