Email ask@places.ae, and get your information in email
Hi all,
In terms of recession, you might have to rely on technology, rather than a personal assistants to find you the information you need. Places.ae has a new service that allows you to get requested information in your email box.
How does it works?
Simple, you send an email to ask@places.ae and in the subject you set your search query, for example hotel in fujeirah. You don’t have to put something in the body of the email, since it will be ignored anyway.
You will receive an answer a few moments after you send the email, giving you the 10 closest places to the requested location. It also sends you little Google maps in the email, so please enable images so you will see the location maps of these places in your email.
This is a beta version, and we’re improving it. So please bear with us, and let us know how we could increase the service.
Thank you,
Michael
Note: this function only return places with phone numbers, so please let us know if you want this changed.
