We ain't done yet! Cool native BlackBerry integrations coming soon. And we are working on something for the Android & iPhone fans

Koprol is for everyone. For any mobile internet users. Not just smartphone owners. Koprol has been available on mobile web since the start, and today we are releasing a mobile app for the most popular platform: Java ME (formerly known as J2ME). It is also one of the top requests from our users.

Download Koprol's Java ME app now at koprol.com/download

Note: not all devices can detect location! If you're lucky, your device lets the Koprol app guess your location. If not, you can always use 'Search' and type your location.

Try it out! Hope you enjoy it.

SIARAN PERS

Koprol, suatu jaringan sosial buatan lokal, diperkenalkan oleh Yahoo! sebagai contoh pemakai Yahoo! API dalam Yahoo Open Hack Day 2009 yang berlangsung 21-22 Nov di Balai Kartini.

Open Hack Day bertujuan memperkenalkan Yahoo! Developer Tools seperti Yahoo! API ke para pengembang Asia Tenggara dengan memberikan penyuluhan gratis selama sehari, kemudian lomba hacking menggunakan Yahoo! API selama semalam. Open Hack sudah sering dilakukan di Amerika dan negara lain, tapi baru kali ini di Asia Tenggara.

Koprol membuktikan bahwa Yahoo! Tools sangat menguntungkan untuk produk lokal semacam Koprol, karena bisa mendatangkan pemakai Yahoo! yang jumlahnya sangat banyak, dan juga implementasinya sangat mudah. Dalam waktu kurang dari seminggu, Koprol telah implementasikan 3 API yang sangat berguna, yaitu:

• YAP / Homepage App: Koprol bisa tampil di halaman depan Yahoo!
• Fire Eagle: mengirim lokasi Koprol ke Fire Eagle dan aplikasi lain
• BB Auth: pengguna Yahoo! bisa daftar Koprol tanpa membuat password

Selain sebagai contoh kasus, Koprol juga terlibat dalam Open Hack Day sebagai juri. Chief Technology Officer kami, Daniel Armanto, menjadi salah satu dari 6 juri lokal dan internasional.

Mengenai Koprol

Koprol adalah jaringan sosial berbasis lokasi pertama di Indonesia. Bisa diakses melalui melalui mobile web, Koprol membantu pemakai ponsel berbagi foto, resensi tempat, dan melakukan diskusi dengan orang disekitarnya. Koprol juga bisa memberi saran tempat yang popular di sekitar, seperti restoran dan toko, berdasarkan penilaian orang.

Koprol telah dicoba sejak awal 2009 dan telah diterima baik di antara pers, komunitas teknologi, dan tentunya komunitasnya sendiri yang terus berkembang. Koprol bertujuan menjadi panduan kota yang sosial, dan menjadi ruang promosi untuk usaha lokal. Dalam waktu dekat, Koprol akan tersedia sebagai aplikasi mobile dan akan menawarkan promosi khusus dari usaha lokal.

Koprol diciptakan dan didanai sendiri oleh SkyEight, perusahaan pengembang software di daerah Barito, Jakarta Selatan.
