  <description>Sodne connects buyers and sellers directly cutting out the middlemen and lowering costs and barriers for everyone.&amp;nbsp; Traditional print media have been gouging customers for too long - It's not that putting an ad in a newspaper is &lt;em&gt;worth&lt;/em&gt; Rs 15000 but it's how much they can &lt;em&gt;get away with&lt;/em&gt; charging.&amp;nbsp; But really an ad is just a way for a seller to reach out to a buyer and for buyers to find what they want.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Classifieds services such as craigslist have proven that this is an inefficient and costly approach.&amp;nbsp; Ads in newspapers might have been a good way to get the word out a hundred years ago but in the age of the internet there are simply more effective and cheaper ways for buyers and sellers to connect.&amp;nbsp; On Sodne.com, for example, you can search for apartments by location, radius, tags, price, square footage, keywords, ratings, reviews, available dates and so on.&amp;nbsp; Potential buyers can interact with sellers more easily and sellers can edit and tweak their posts and respond to questions.&amp;nbsp; It's a win for both the buyers and sellers.&amp;nbsp; Maybe it's not a win for print media and the many brokers in Nepal but the world is changing and we must change with it.</description>
