STAFF REPORT IBD: Wi-tribe has announced the beta launch of wi-tribe Bazaar – Pakistans first Buy and Sell software portal – as a platform where Pakistani software developers can sell and monetize their software.
According to details, the portal, as all things wi-tribe, is slick and the User Interface is very simple to use. This is in beta so developers are warned that there might be a few bugs – and these should be reported so that they can be fixed.
The basic categories that they have defined in the portal include anti-virus and anti-spam, business, communication, games, graphics, internet and networking, mobile applications, PC Widgets, Systems Utilities.
So all a software developer has to do is fill in the details in the online application form, mention the price, provide a description, the OS the app runs on and send it to w-tribe along with a sign up fee of Rs. 1000.
“The wi-tribe Bazaar is powered by wi-tribe scratch cards, allowing the purchase of software through scratch cards available at over 600 locations throughout Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore and Faisalabad,” said Ali Fahd, Director Marketing wi-tribe.
He added that wi-tribe Bazaar is our effort to support, encourage and proliferate the local IT industry and software developers in particular.
