Looking for an ATM that's working near you? This real-time site can help you

At a time when there are endless queues outside ATMs and banks to exchange notes and withdraw new currency, crowdsourcing has come to the rescue to ease the common man's plight.

Just as netizens contributed to crowdsource data and help people stranded during Chennai floods, this time around a twitter handle named @WoCharLog has created a website that provides you crowdsourced information about the working ATMs and crowd numbers at these ATMs 

All you need to do is  enter the locality in the search box and it throws up the status of ATMs in that area and tells you when it was last updated. You can also update the situation of ATM you know by entering the landmark, bank name and the number of people waiting at the ATM.

Although it’s very difficult to say how accurate the result is, people applauded and thanked the creator for the effort @WoCharLog has put in.

Also, atmfinder.cms.com, a website of ATM network management company CMS, gives details of ATM found in different cities in India. But this is not as comprehensive as the atmsearch.in and doesn't show real time or current picture of the ATM nearby.
