I would guess that the service you refer to is based upon Ribbit  
technology. For details, see:

	http://www.ribbit.com

I believe Ribbit could be used to achieve your goals--although the  
low budget might present a serious limitation (as custom software  
development tends to be on the pricey side).

Best wishes,

Jim
