Mardan boy creates SMS based Social Network, SmileSMS

This country is not of talent and resources and this is what we in the eyes of our young talented minds who have just started to come up with more innovative ideas every now and then. Earlier we read about Malala Yousafzai and Arfa Karim and now this 18 year old teenager, Shahzad Khan from Mardan is making us say Woww. This came to my knowledge just a moment ago when express tribune reported that a local boy has created a facebook like social network that runs on mobile phones through SMS, calledSMileSMS

Since it is SMS based,  therefore, it does not require any internet connection. Just like facebook, you can update your status, let your friends know about it who can also comment on that.

At the moment, the test network that Shahzad had created can accommodate 1 million users to share their information on it. But, with the help of government support and cooperation from cellular operators, this application can be enhanced to let more than 110 million subscribers of Pakistan to communicate through it.

If provided enough support, this could really boost our local application development market.

Shahzad is a University of Peshawar graduate and runs a small setup for its application development. He has this hobby of creating different small programs since grade 6.
