About
Next2.us lets people automatically connect around place and common topics of interest. The software is accessible via a mobile version and via SMS in Kenya and the United States. The software is easy to use. You just register with a name and location and then post messages about what you have, want or would like to talk about followed by a keyword or keyphrase.
The software then at future point in time (typically midnight) gathers all the messages together and exchanges them based on user's location, proximity between user and keywords.
Why help test?
We've built Next2.us for a number of applicatons but our initial target are overlooked and undersvalued communities in Kenya that are not on the internet but have access to a mobile phone. We hope by using Next2.us neighbors that may live near each other but not know about their common interest or needs can discover each other, connect and communicate via SMS messaging.
Even though you may already be on the internet please help us test the software before we release it to radio stations, NGOs and religious organizations in Kenya.

The is NO FEE to receive messages using Next 2
Here are some things to consider when choosing a name for your Next 2 account.
Your name must be at least four (4) characters in lenght.
Keep you name short and easy to remember cause it acts like a SMS address and a web page that you can share with others.
