It is really interesting to come across startups, primarily those that address problems of the more real, brick and mortar world. Firstly, they providing a more modern solution to the long existing issues and secondly they are way too faster and informative. I have been complaining about the Pakistani startup scene for ages and it appears there are more startups surfacing. Not necessarily based in Pakistan, but smart developers from the region are doing quite a bit in this area.

ArziRehaish or temporary residence as you would call in English is a startup that helps students in Pakistan find hostels or residence in cities other than their home town. There are major issues that students face when it comes to finding a place to stay if they happen to get admissions in cities other than their own. Its not just students who face the issue, working professionals too have similar trouble when it comes to being relocated to another city, something which many dread. Nobody wants to turn pages of a newspaper and listings or try to get real state help them on this, its spending more money for a simpler task. And who really wants that with the Web getting more and more powerful?

The biggest issue with me putting up link in signatures/footers is it appears too messy if you are a part of many social networking sites and you need to mention them all.

image thumb90 Startup: Audiggle Lets You Listen, Explore And Identify Music From Your Desktop [Tool]

I listen to songs almost every time I am writing these posts. But it gets a bit irritating at times when I am not able to tell the artist’s name or to put it simply; recognize what music is being played. You have music recognition services for the mobile devices like the iPhone app from Shazam but the desktops lack one such app, don’t they? Welcome Audiggle, a startup that is dedicated to providing you with a software that helps you know what music you are playing with its desktop app.

The best part is that you can use the software and avoid the trouble of searching for artist’s and music information on Google. I seriously have huge issues and most of the times give up on digging out details on music. You don’t have to close yourself up to play a track, perhaps you hear soundtrack of Brave Heart, or watching a YouTube where the background music allures your ears, Audiggle has details on any music from any source.

Startup: Betterfly Lets You Find The Best People For Anything

Posted April 20, 2010 by Sardar Mohkim Khan

image thumb67 Startup: Betterfly Lets You Find The Best People For Anything

As we had earlier promised that we would restart reviewing startups on Startup Meme and have so far kept up with that. The move was made on our readers demand and to stay connected to the roots of this blog, more importantly because I love to talk about new services. Today we have a Yelp for People and its called Betterfly.

While Yelp helps you with places to get your work done Betterfly gets a bit more specific and narrows or should I say expands that to people. Think of it, I recommend you that you can get your car fixed in my city at a particular workshop and compare that to stating that a particular mechanic in that workshop is the best person for the job. Does that make a difference to you? To me it does and there is nothing better than being specific in telling people who the expert or the right person is for a job or anything. Betterfly does exactly that but by helping you find the right individual, a Betterist who can help you learn how to fix your car.

You can’t always go to places to attend sessions or organize one, primarily because it adds up to a higher cost for participants and more importantly not every thing requires training sessions in real. Something of an online information hub would do the job more appropriately.

In comes Traindom, a startup that provides you with an easy to use platform to market information effectively.
