roomsDB.net: now also for Kuala Lumpur !

Posted August 8, 2007
Filed under: Uncategorized |

The expansion of roomsDB.net starts today! kl.roomsDB.net just went online in a beta version! So when you loved roomsDB.net for Singapore and now you need to find a room in Kuala Lumpur, you know where to go!

The KL version of roomsDB.net has exactly the same great features as the Singaporean version. Just check it out for yourself.

But why is it a “beta” you might ask. Well, to do this website remotely without never having been in KL myself (yeah, it’s a shame), is not the easiest thing to do. I need help for the different districts. The district list that is online now was taken from Wikipedia, but I am not sure if it is so right! So Malaysians out there who read this: please help me!! I need a decent district list of all the districts of Kuala Lumpur! Or perhaps the one I found in wikipedia is already great, but I cannot check. Please have a look on the “read offers” page and check if you find something strange there and let me know here! Your help is so appreciated! In return, I am working on more roomsDB.net versions for other Malaysian cities!

Watch out for much more to come!

Bye, Sebastian

    Hi there, just came by to check out your website after reading about it in the “Digital Life” article. Great job! :)

    Congratulations on starting the KL version. Your district list looks about right. However, KL is a big place and with constant on-going developments, there could be new areas/suburbs coming up, so perhaps you may want to include an “Others” option in the list… just in case people want to post an entry which doesn’t fit into your available list of districts.

    Btw, if you ever start a roomsdb on Petaling Jaya (affectionately known as PJ) - a predominantly suburban area just outside of KL - do let me know if you need help, as that’s where I’m from. It’s a popular area to live in, even if one is working in KL, as its just a short drive away from the city, has great shopping centers and is convenient, has some of the yummiest, cheap hawker food (which I miss now that I’m in Singapore), and also has several good colleges where students may be looking for rooms…

    All the best with your sites! :)
