yabb blog

The launch proved ‘interesting’. We got a slightly misleading write up on Techcrunch.co.uk followed by a blazingly wrong one on Techcrunch.com . It was a bit surprising given that Techcrunch is the leading blog in this area. We understand people want to be first (they were not anyway thanks to Paul Walsh’s post ) but this is bad when it kills the accuracy.

Certainly if we had our chance again we would write a press release style document for bloggers/journalists to prevent any significant confusion. We would also consider inviting in the Techcrunch folk a bit earlier so they have a bit of time to play with the service.

So what is yabb? We are a voice centric social network based on people having 1 to 1 voice Skype conversations on topics of mutual interest. I think that pretty much says it all in one sentence.
