Searching geo stuff on Moby

Today we launch our new search backend. This makes searching stuff a lot quicker, but more important, we add the location ingredient in the mix!

I’m not gonna go into the technical details, but what you can do right now is search for stuff around a certain perimeter.
This means you can find all postings containing ‘rainbow’ in for instance ‘The Netherlands’ or around a geolocation.

This is especially cool for our over 500 third party developers. They could integrate this into their applications.

You could easiliy create maps and layars for events and groups showing all the real-time content of that location.
