Everything You Want to Know About the ‘Yo’ App Everyone Is Talking About
23 Jun 2014 by Jasmine Stone in Tech/Sci, Very Cool
There now officially is an app for everything – even laziness. The new app, called “Yo”, does one thing: sends a “Yo” to a contact. Nothing else.
Where do we sign up?
The iOS and Android app does seem a little one-dimensional (and by “a little”, we mean “a lot”), but it’s actually garnered quite a following in such a short time; so what makes it so desirable?
The app’s developers note that sending the same message using WhatsApp, Facebook or SnapChat would take 11 taps.
A stupid, but fair-point, and Forbes’ Anthony Wing Kosner believes that there’s a lot of potential with it’s simplicity.
Consider the meaning of a ‘yo’ with a map location, with a web address, with a song or a YouTube video? The ability to shout out the immediate context is what Twitter is supposed to be for, but who wants to bother crafting 140 characters anymore?
