Dear Koprollers,

One of the best features of Koprol is the place reviews. They provide info about what’s good or bad about places, they come from yourselves, and they help everyone find good places to visit. It’s the most powerful feature to make Koprol useful for your friends and even more people, if we keep using it well.

However, they’re not so useful for users if they are filled with spam, including duplicate reports. Reviews are not the place to report place data errors. That is ruining the usefulness of reviews. We’d like to remind you that we are committed to fight spam as always. We just need you to report in the correct way.

Bad data? Use our report tool
We already have tools to report errors in place data. Just go to the place page and click ‘Report this place’ where you can choose from 3 types of report:

• Report as Closed: for places that once existed but is now closed
• Report as Bogus: for places that doesn’t exist or not a real place
• Report as Duplicate: for places that are already listed before in Koprol

And if you want to correct an address, map location, or even the spelling of the place name, simply click ‘Edit details’ in the place page, and suggest a correction.

Please just use these report tools, and rest assured our hard-working team is processing every single report. There are so many reports, and that’s where we need your patience. But just keep reporting. You will earn points every time we approve a report or correction.

Say no to spam
To give you better experience on Koprol, we will not tolerate anyone who spam the reviews. We are ready to remove the spam, deduct points from the spammer, demote the spammer from Kurator, or suspend the spammer’s Koprol account.

Keep Koprol clean and useful. Report using proper tool. Don't spam.

And by the way… Kurators! Last night we launched a new kurator verification page. It has a new flow.

4 Steps in verifying a new place

1. Check Bogus: Does the place exist? If you don’t know, just skip it!
2. Check Duplicate: use our search tool to find possible duplicates
3. Check Details: add more info, and fix the spelling
4. Check Map: drag the map to the correct place.. and you’re set!

Hope you like it!

Fitur Review di Koprol

Salah satu fitur terbaik yang dimiliki Koprol adalah review. Fitur review ini memungkinkan kita untuk berbagi pendapat dan pengalaman mengenai tempat tertentu. Tidak hanya dengan teman kita, tapi juga semua orang di Koprol.

Fitur review ini sangat berguna bagi semua pengguna. Namun demikian, review menjadi kurang berguna bila dipenuhi spam, termasuk untuk melaporkan tempat yang duplikasi.

Data salah? Gunakan fitur laporan kami
Kami menyediakan alat untuk Anda melaporkan berbagai bentuk kesalahan data. Cukup membuka halaman tempat, dan klik ‘Report this place’. Lalu akan muncul 3 jenis laporan, yaitu

• Report as Closed: untuk tempat yang sudah tutup atau pindah
• Report as Bogus: untuk tempat yang tidak pernah ada atau fiktif
• Report as Duplicate: untuk tempat yang terdaftar lebih dari sekali

Jika Anda ingin membetulkan alamat, lokasi pada peta, atau bahkan ejaan nama tempat, cukup klik ‘Edit details’ di halaman tempat.

Cukup laporkan saja, dan tim kami akan proses. Ada begitu banyak laporan yang masuk tiap hari, sehingga kami harap pengguna Koprol bersabar. Kami pastikan semua laporan anda kami verifikasi. Anda akan mendapatkan poin bila laporan anda kami setujui.

Katakan tidak pada Spam
Demi kenyamanan pemakai Koprol, kami siap membatasi spam di bagian Reviews dengan cara menghapus spam, mengurangi poin, mencabut jabatan kurator, dan bahkan menangguhkan akun pelaku spam.

Jaga Koprol agar bersih dan berguna. Lapor kesalahan dengan cara yang benar. Jangan melakukan spam.

Dan kami punya berita baik untuk para Kurator. Kemarin kami meluncurkan halaman verifikasi kurator yang baru.

4 Langkah Verifikasi Tempat:

1. Cek Bogus: Apakah tempat itu benar-benar ada? Jika ragu, skip!
2. Cek Duplikat: gunakan alat pencari untuk mencari bila tempat tersebut sudah terdaftar sebelumnya di Koprol.
3. Cek Detil: tambahkan info, perbaiki ejaan
4. Cek Peta: benahi lokasi pada peta jika Anda merasa lokasi yang tertunjuk pada peta salah atau kurang tepat.

Silakan coba!

People love Koprol because they can find interesting conversations all the time. But how do you share a live conversation to your circle? Copy and paste doesn't let them see the original thing. To do that, you can simply 'Bump' a post.

Bump a post by clicking the up-arrow bump icon or link, then all your friends and followers can see that interesting thread and directly jump into the comments.

So why repeat when you can 'Bump' the real thing and let your friends join the whole live thread. Happy bumping!

*You can only bump posts that are public

**Don't abuse the feature, your social circle may not always like it

Koprol uses Geolocation API to help you find nearest places from your browser

This is an awesome new feature for those who browse Koprol from PC, iPhone, iPod, iPad, or Android. Now you don't need to type your place, just let Koprol find places nearest to your physical location.

To use this, when your browser says Koprol would like to use your location, simply click 'Allow' or 'Share Location'. The next time you click 'Check-in' to change place, Koprol can list nearby places accurately!

Note: Koprol never tracks your physical location, we only know places you voluntarily check in to. For more, read Yahoo! Privacy Policy.

Browsers that support Geolocation API:

• Firefox 3.5+
• Opera 10.6+
• Google Chrome 5+
• Safari 5+
• Android 2.1+
• Internet Explorer 9+

Since we introduced Kurator almost 4 months ago, our user-generated places system has been getting filled with well-curated data. Also it has been continually improved based on our plans and your suggestions.

We just released another update that improves the process of adding and verifying new places and awarding points to users. To get you updated on the many improvements, here is a simple FAQ.

Who can add places?
Any user can – Yup, no more barriers for new users. Now anyone can add, and it all goes to the Kurators for verification.

How do I add new cities and regions?
Use the searchbox to find any city or region in the world. If it’s not yet on Koprol, you can find it under ‘Add a place from Yahoo! Geo’. Just click ‘Add’ and it will immediately be active on Koprol without needing verification from Kurators.

How do I add new places that are not in Yahoo! Geo?
Use the searchbox to find a specific place, like a building, restaurant or shop. If it’s not yet on Koprol, you can click ‘Add New Place’ on the bottom of the page. You are required to fill in the name, category and address. Optionally you can fill all fields for better chance to get approval.

Where are the ‘parent place’?
Aha, old school user eh? We don’t use parent places anymore. All venues are now put directly under the city level. Just make sure you point correctly on the map.

How does a new place gets live?
After added by a creator, each place gets verified by a few eligible Kurators. Each Kurator will either edit and approve the entry, or reject if it’s a duplicate or bogus. If more Kurators approve of a new place, it will be sent back to the creator for final approval. If more Kurators reject, it gets dumped.

The creator gets to approve again?
Yes, after going through edits by the Kurators, each place is shown to the creator for final approval. If the edits are correct, the creator can approve and the place immediately gets live. If the edits are bad, the creator can reject and resubmit.

Can I verify on mobile?
No. Kurators can only verify new places on the full site.

How do I become a Kurator?
You have to get a certain amount of points. You get the points whenever you add a new place and it gets approved by the Kurators. So add lots of new, correct, accurate places if you want a chance to be a Kurator.

When do I get points and lose points?
You get points if you contribute good things, like when a place you added gets live, when a place you approve gets live, when a place you reject fails verification, etc.
You lose points if your contributions are not well received, like when a place you added fails verification, when a place you approve are rejected by others, when a place you reject gets approved by others, etc.
The amount of points is hidden to avoid users gaming the system as we are still making improvements to the algorithm.

Can I be dropped from being a Kurator?
Yes, it’s possible. You lose points when your new places gets rejected or when you verify incorrectly. If your total point goes below a secret threshold, you will not be a Kurator anymore. However you can still go back to be a Kurator again if you add correct places and get points.

Which places does a Kurator verify first?
Each Kurator gets to verify places that are near first. When there are no new places nearby, we offer them to verify places in other cities, and eventually other countries, to help out those in countries that don’t have many Kurators.

What to look for when verifying a place?
A good Kurator checks the validity of the place, accuracy of data, accuracy of the map location, and make sure there are no duplicates. There is a new tool at the bottom of the verification page to check for possible duplicates.

What do I do if I find a duplicate?
First, calm down and don’t panic. We a have a new report tool! Just go to one of the duplicate, and click ‘Report a duplicate’. You will need to type in the Place ID and the exact name of its duplicate. Your input will later be used by our system to merge the duplicates.

More questions, ask @kurator

The results are in: the new kid is playing with the big boys!

According to comScore's report for social networks in Indonesia, Koprol is 7th in unique users, and 3rd in pageviews. Yes, we now have more pageviews than Multiply (#4) & Friendster (#5), and only next to Facebook (#1) & Twitter (#2).

1,000,000 Users

Yesterday morning, Koprol reached 1 million active users. We celebrated it with a cake!  (Thanks, akallus!)

We tracked down our one-millionth user and he is diditdomba, a junior high school student in Depok. We invited him to meet the founders, our country manager (Pontus) and receive cool Yahoo! merchandise. Oh, and a sweet reward of one million Rupiah.

Didit, said “I was very happy because I had just signed up for Koprol just a few hours before the Yahoo! Koprol team called me and informed me that I was the winner. I feel like I got an early present for my birthday next November 14. Suddenly, I have a lot of friends on my Koprol account. It is fun, totally fun, to become so popular.”

We hope many more people will use Koprol and we can't wait to find out who will be our two millionth user.

Thank you, Indonesia! Koprol is experiencing amazing growth. 106,750 new users in a 7 day span, and daily signups are still increasing.

This growth is caused by our huge campaign all over Indonesia, that includes the Pintu Ungu online campaign 2 weeks ago, and the Yahoo! Koprol ad on major television stations since last week. And we're not done yet.

Expect more growth from a new Nexian phone campaign that was just officially announced today on a full page ad on Kompas. Yup, Nexian launched NX-G821 that includes a custom Koprol app and a free CD from Nidji!

Four times more active

Signups are great, but even better is activity. People are not just signing up on Koprol, but also using it a lot! We got so many active users on Koprol that some of you may experience slowness yesterday (Wednesday).

Yes, we went over capacity. Sorry!

Fortunately it's OK now. Our devteam worked overtime and did some magic to improve the codes and restore stability. We will soon get more servers too

To show how overloaded we are, look at the growth chart below. Daily unique users multiplied 4 times compared to just couple of weeks ago.

Keep it up, Indonesia. More people on Koprol, more fun we'll have
