Smitty & Shanan at Echelon 2010 Singapore

Dear Koprollers -

First off I just wanted to say thanks for supporting the product and the people behind Koprol. Indonesia is getting quite a lot of press these days and much of it happened since Yahoo! acquired Koprol. This is an exciting time for Indonesians, startups in Indonesia and the Indonesian internet.

Now I would like to introduce my boss Shanan Delp and myself – Michael Smith Jr. We are both Yahoo! employees and friends but even more importantly we are huge fans of Indonesia, the Koprol team and the Koprol community.

Best just to give you our Koprol profile:

Shanan - koprol.com/users/shanan
Michael - koprol.com/users/dreampipe

Shanan and I both feel pretty strongly that the community and the evolution of the Koprol product go hand in hand. Our goal is to continue to develop the product alongside the Koprol team but at the same time listen to the community as we pioneer an exciting product space within the Yahoo! family.

I think that is all we wanted to say and to let you all know how excited we are about the future of Koprol and the growth of the Koprol community.

Happy Koprolling!

Shanan & Smitty
