Announcing LetsCricket.com!

View Comments

It gives me great pleasure to showcase the efforts of the Tekriti intern team in the form of LetsCricket.com LetsCricket is perhaps first social networking community targeted towards Cricket fans. Its built on top of the PeopleAggregator platform, which of course Tekriti develops with Broadband Mechanics. I had this project in mind since a very long time and I had registered the domain name more than an year back.

With the interns coming in and the world cup being just a few weeks away, we felt it was right opportunity to build LetsCricket.

LetCricket is targeted towards the typical crazy overzealous cricket fan (like myself). Indians love to talk about cricket (no matter they might have never played ever in their lives). So clearly disusing cricket is a very social activity. On LetsCricket, users can create groups, participate in discussions, vote for their favorite players, maintain cricket blogs and find other people with common interests.

LetsCricket is very much a work in progress. It has been put together in less than 3 weeks by Pankaj and Santosh (with generous help from Gurpreet and rest of the PeepAgg team). We are adding new features in to the site everyday. We decided to make the URL public in the spirit of open development approach. Do give it a look!

    Cool stuff. Keep it up Tekriti! This site in 3 Weeks is a great achievement. You should be proud of this. It means you have a good framework that you could use to replicate in other similar ideas. Good luck! Future is bright.

    thanks for the comments! With India out of the world cup, I dont know what kind of response we can expect now!

    I am not sure if it was a fun/hobby project or a serious business. I know at least one social network based on Cricket (sixer.tv).
    Code Feedback: I was able to insert HTML links in the chat. I dunno if they are allowed, but some stuff got messed up.

    Hey Gaurav,
    I am testing out PA for setting up a social networking website that will be launched soon.
    After few hours of struggle with the source package, I could finish the installation. However, it seems a lot will still need to be done in order to customize the UI!
    Is there any kind of support available for the same? (Documentation/ Email support/ Forum) Would be great if you can point me to something!
    Cheers,
    Tarun
    PS: The FAQs page on the PA wiki wasn’t of any help either.
