"While we were in Brazil to organise our first TNW Latin America conference we soon discovered that (mobile) Internet was not something that was readily available to everyone, nor was it very fast. In a large city like S\u00E3o Paolo (or Brazil in general), or any other city that you might not know very well, you might want to know what places are around you without actually having to increase your roaming cost exponentially each time you open Google Maps on your smart phone.\r\n\r\nThat was the basic idea behind Locazy. Find places around you with relative ease by sending a simple email. The bandwidth costs are low, and you receive a top 5 list op places, with address (to show your taxi driver) and even a Google Maps link (if you have a good enough connection).\r\n\r\nSo how does it work? Just send an email to venues@locazy.com with the subject line in this format:\r\n{type} {in/near/around} {place}\r\nFor example:\r\nfood near Nieuwe Achtergracht 17\r\nsushi in Amsterdam\r\ndrinks around New York\r\nUsing SendGrid\u2019s Parse API your email is parsed and the service sends back the top 5 places around you.\r\n\r\nStill confused?
