What inspired you to create your own social networking site?
Why 'Koprol'?
What's so different compared to Facebook or Twitter?
Is it just specifically for Jakarta residents?
Is this just a hobby or are you trying to follow Zuckerberg?
Are you tempted to sell off your ownership?
What do you think about the current IT law?

Jakarta Globe: ‘Beat It, Facebook!’??

darmanto — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 13:37:58 +0000

This is only Koprol's first time mentioned in a newspaper, and already on the front page with a photo and the headline 'Beat It, Facebook!'?? Yikes. Now that's pressure.

Anita interviewed all four founders for a piece titled Social and Local: Network Lets Jakartans Share Their Scene:

A team of local software developers recently announced that they had developed a new social networking site similar to Plurk and Twitter that would allow Jakartans to communicate with each other and share tips about local hangouts.

Koprol.com is the brainchild of four self-confessed computer nerds who said they wanted to create a location-based microblogging service that could keep people informed about the latest events in some of Jakarta’s most popular hangouts, such as malls, restaurants and cafes.

They also got a comment from one of our beta testers:

Because it is still being tested, Koprol currently has a limited number of members. But those who are involved in the testing are already ecstatic about the site’s features and the fact that it is locally developed.

“The concept behind Koprol is good,” said Retno Nindya, a 24-year-old freelance graphic designer. “I am proud of the fact that it was developed by Indonesians.”
