Yappn Launches Global Social Platform
September 20 2013 - 3:01PM
Marketwired
Yappn Corp. (OTCBB:YPPN) is pleased to announce that Yappn
(www.yappn.com), the online multi-lingual social community and
powerful social tool set where people can meet, chat, engage and
consume media in almost 70 languages will begin launching publicly
today at 4 pm EST depending on domain propagation.
The open launch comes about after a successful beta testing
period. Now all members of the public are able to participate in
multi-lingual discussions with people around the world in their
native tongues by removing language, geographic and social barriers
that have made many other online and mobile platforms homogenous in
nature by only engaging "friends" rather than those who globally,
are interested in a particular brand, movie, artist, celebrity or
topic.
"This is just the beginning as we continue to listen to our
partners and users on how to globalize social media and engagement.
Brands can now leverage their single language focused messaging
around the world, in real-time, said David Lucatch, Founder and
CEO. "Yappn compliments social platforms like Facebook, Twitter,
Pinterest, Tumblr, YouTube and others by integrating the Yappn tool
set into many other social platforms and allowing major social
media to co-exist inside of Yappn. This provides a unique services
offering that is already being commercialized and will continue to
accelerate."
Yappn will continue to evolve and become more robust with
additional feature sets, gamification and commercial programs
already under development. "Based on the overwhelming positive
feedback we received from our beta testing audience, we continue to
tweak and edit the Yappn interface, platform and tools and
encourage our users to continue to provide feedback to improve the
experience", said Rob Cole, General Manager of Yappn.
Yappn has already seen commercial success with its set of
multi-lingual social engagement tools in two large scale events.
Recently, Yappn provided live video multi-lingual translation for
the online broadcast of the red carpet arrivals for The Wolverine
movie in London and also hosted a multi-lingual Twitter chat with
Tom Hiddleston, who portrays Loki from the upcoming movie, Thor:
The Dark World. International fans were able to participate in the
Q&A on Twitter by submitting their questions to Mr. Hiddleston
in almost 70 languages through Yappn's global social engagement
tool.
Users are encouraged to go to www.yappn.com to register for the
platform and start participating.
