PRESS RELEASE

Yahoo! Koprol Revs Up With Brand New Features For The PC
The revamped PC interface provides a seamless experience across the desktop and mobile

Jakarta, November 29, 2011 — Yahoo! Koprol, Indonesia’s first location-based social networking site (LBS) marked yet another milestone by rolling out its latest suite of features developed for the PC. The new Yahoo! Koprol PC interface includes the enhanced features and functionalities available on mobile and brings these with a consistent look across both mobile and PC platforms to provide users with a seamless experience wherever they are. Users can log in to the existing Koprol URL (http://www.koprol.com) and access the newly transformed site which now has a neater look, simple navigation, intuitive layout and a multitude of user-friendly features that allow for easy conversations.

Recent features include ‘Interesting Streams’ for social commenting, ‘Onboarding’ for easy check-ins, ‘People Finder’ to connect with people in the vicinity and the ‘Hovercard’ which enables users to find the profile information of another user’s “avatar” without having to visit individual profile pages. Popular features which are already available on the mobile like ‘Hot Tags’ which consolidate content on popular topics or events to reflect the collective mood, ‘Koprol Stamp’ feature which serves as a fun element and rewards users for being social with other Koprol users, are all available on the PC. The availability of these enhanced features on the PC also provides an additional channel for entrepreneurs to reach audiences at homes and extend the ‘Koprol for Business’ marketing tool to reach and engage a wider consumer base.

“While mobile is strengthening its position as the dominant medium for Internet access, many Indonesians are still on the PC. Yahoo! Koprol’s revamped PC interface is not just a facelift but offers a seamless integration of experiences and features across both mobile and desktop. This is a significant step forward in Yahoo! Koprol’s evolution as we leverage our technological expertise to help users transition across various platforms effortlessly,” said Yahoo! Indonesia Country Manager, Pontus Sonnerstedt.

“Yahoo! Koprol has constantly innovated and reinvented to stay one step ahead of our user’s demands for innovation and lifestyle experience. Over the course of this year, we have developed several product-defining features while making Yahoo! Koprol available on Android phones and BBM6. Now, we’ve stepped up a notch higher to deliver a consistent experience for consumers whether they are on the move or sitting at home in front of a desktop,” said Satya Witoelar, Co-founder of Yahoo! Koprol.

Yahoo! Koprol was set up in 2010 when Yahoo! acquired Indonesian start-up, Koprol. The Yahoo! Koprol team has created a service at the intersection of community and location that leverages proprietary technology and insight to deliver unique content and experience and further local talent in Indonesia.

For old skool Koprollers, we require you to connect your Koprol account to a Yahoo! ID. This is a very simple and painless login merge process that you only need to do one time. To show how easy it is, here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Open koprol.com

Go to koprol.com and click Sign In. You can do this on mobile too, but without support for Facebook, Google, Twitter login.

2. Sign in to Yahoo!

Cara Menggabungkan Account Koprol dengan ID Yahoo!

May 4th, 2011

(Read the English version of this guide)

Seperti kami pernah terangkan, sekarang login ke Koprol pakai ID Yahoo!.

Untuk Koproller lama, Anda perlu menghubungkan account Koprol anda dengan ID Yahoo!. Ini adalah proses penggabungan login yang sangat mudah dan hanya perlu dilakukan satu kali. Untuk menjelaskan betapa mudahnya, inilah petunjuknya:

1. Buka koprol.com

Pergi ke koprol.com dan tekan Sign in. Anda bisa melakukan ini di ponsel juga, tapi tanpa dukungan login Facebook, Google, Twitter.

blog-full-front-signin

2. Sign in ke Yahoo!

Masukkan ID Yahoo! dan kata sandi. Bila anda tidak punya, anda bisa buat di situ. Anda juga bisa login ke Yahoo! dengan account Facebook atau Google.

blog-full-yahoo

3. Login ke account Koprol anda

Daftarkan ID Koprol anda seperti biasanya, apakah itu dengan kata sandi atau dengan Facebook, Google, twitter. Bila anda lupa kata sandi, kami bisa mengirim link untuk penggabungan ke email yang daftarkan di Koprol.

blog-full-merge-signin

4. Konfirmasi

Siap gabung! Pastikan itu adalah ID Yahoo! yang anda ingin hubungkan dengan account Koprol anda, lalu tekan 'Merge Now!'

Sebagai alternatif, anda juga bisa lakukan ini di ponsel. Caranya persis sama:

1. Buka m.koprol.com

blog-mobile-frontpage

2. Sign in ke Yahoo!

blog-mobile-yahoo

3. Login ke account Koprol anda

blog-mobile-merge-signin

4. Konfirmasi

blog-mobile-merge-confirm

Ayo ngoprol terus!

Sign in with Yahoo! ID starting May 5th

April 26th, 2011

(versi Bahasa Indonesia di bawah)

Turnstyles

On May 5th 2011, we will change the way you log into Koprol.

You won't need to use your Koprol password anymore, just use your Yahoo! ID to access Koprol's full site, mobile site, and mobile apps. You can also sign in with Facebook or Google when accessing Koprol's full site.

This is an exciting change that provides you with easier login, one less password to remember, better security, and opens the door to more cool Yahoo! features on Koprol.

For this change, we require you to do a quick one-time login merge process to connect your Koprol account to your Yahoo! ID, anytime starting May 5th 2011.

This merge will not affect your Koprol profile at all. You will still use the same screen name and profile URL. You will still receive notifications on the email address you registered to Koprol. This will only change the way you log in to Koprol.

By the way, you won't even need to do this login merge process at all, if you have connected your Koprol account with a Yahoo! ID. To connect now: go to Sharing Settings on your computer and click ‘Connect with a Yahoo! ID’.

Workshop IV - Performance Art & Locative Media

5 Mei, Login dengan Yahoo! ID

Apa yang saat ini Anda lakukan untuk login ke Koprol? Masukkan username dan password khusus Koprol? Lupakan semua itu.

Pada 5 Mei 2011, kami akan melakukan perubahan pada alur/proses login Koprol. Hanya dengan menggunakan Yahoo! ID, Anda bisa mengakses full site Koprol, mobile site, dan mobile apps. Tidak hanya itu, Anda juga bisa login dengan menggunakan akun Facebook dan Google saat mengakses full site Koprol. Dengan ini, satu kombinasi username dan password bisa Anda hilangkan dari catatan. Yay!

Bagaimana caranya? Sangat mudah, Anda hanya perlu melakukan sebuah proses penggabungan login (login merge) yang kami jamin tidak akan menyita banyak waktu Anda. Proses ini dapat dilakukan kapanpun, dimulai pada tanggal 5 Mei 2011.

Tidak perlu khawatir proses ini akan mengganggu atau mengubah profil Koprol Anda. Nama layar dan URL profil Anda tidak akan berubah, proses ini hanya akan mengubah cara Anda login ke Koprol. Bahkan Anda masih akan menerima notifikasi di email yang sama.

Bila Anda sudah menghubungkan akun Koprol dengan Yahoo! ID sebelumnya, Anda tidak perlu melakukan proses penggabungan ini. Ingin menghubungkannya sekarang? Buka Sharing Settings di komputer Anda, dan klik "Hubungkan dengan Yahoo! ID"

Perubahan ini akan membuat hidup Anda lebih mudah, dengan mengurangi satu password yang harus diingat, jaminan keamanan akun yang lebih baik, dan tentunya kemudahan untuk menggunakan fitur-fitur dari Yahoo! di Koprol.

New Awesomeness from Koprol

April 7th, 2011

Yahoo! Koprol has been constantly rolling out new features lately. Here are some highlights of what you can do now:

  1. Post geotagged photos to Flickr
  2. Add & approve new places with more confidence
  3. Put Koprol widgets on your blog
  4. Get notified when your friend is nearby

Post geotagged photos to Flickr

Koprol hearts Flickr! Now you can connect to your Flickr account and every photo you post on Koprol will be posted on Flickr too. What’s cool is that we will geotag every photo based on your check-in. Flickrites, more reason to Koprol! :)

flickr-page

To activate, go to Settings > Sharing and click the Flickr button, and then Authorize at Flickr. Make sure you set your default geo privacy setting according to your liking.

flickr-connect

Add & approve new places with more confidence

More power to you when adding places. First, you can add an optional photo to help convince the Kurators. Secondly, if somehow you get rejected the first time, now you have the chance to improve the details and resubmit. Believe in second chances :)

bb-add

Kurators, you might notice this since last week. Yup, we totally revamped the verification page with a nice new flow. First you just need to decide whether the new place exists and not duplicate. Then only after that you can optionally fix the details. We hope this ensures better filtering of new places, but more importantly it’s now easier and faster for you to decide and get points!

verify-flow

Also, there are more points reward done in the background. You now win points when you get your correction and reports approved. We'll give out more details about the points system later.

Put Koprol widgets on your blog

Bloggers, pimp your blog by showing off Koprol streams using our brand new Widgets! It’s very easy to set up if you ever used one. We have two types of widget: Profile Widget that shows your recent posts, and Place Widget that shows everyone’s posts from a specific place like a mall or a neighborhood. That means if you own a business, you can show live posts from your store on your website!

kopijos-widget

To get the code, go to koprol.com/widgets to choose a widget, optionally set the colors and preferences, then cut and paste to your web page.

widget-page

Get notified when your friend is nearby

Ping! This is a cool feature for you push-mail users. Get an email when someone you follow checks in nearby. The default is off, so you have to manually choose which people you want to track. You can only track people you follow. So go follow that special someone and be alerted when he or she is close :)

To activate, go to Friends list on your PC and check ‘Ping’ for people you want to track.

ping

Please try all those new features and let us know what you think in the comments below or at @koprol
