| "If you haven't been following along on Twitter, Yo is the hottest new app that will leave you scratching your head. The entire premise of the app is to send other users a single word: Yo.
... Without ever having officially launched, co-founder and CEO Or Arbel managed to secure $1.2 million in funding from a list of unnamed investors, except for co-founder, angel, and Mobli CEO Moshe Hogeg, who participated in the round." http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/18/yo-yo/ I love how the writer tries to pretend that Yo! raising a million dollars is something other than a fucking mockery. It's like someone is trying to make fun of sillicon valley, and the VCs aren't in on the joke. I hope Mike Judge is behind this now, somehow pulling the strings. Someone should check if the yo! domain name is registered to a Mr. Beavis and Butthead. It's like someone took Twitter to its logical conclusion and just let you send one word. But that one word is so meaningful and so social and so social mobile local web 4.0 douchebag. Seriously, though, this article is some comedy gold. We have a discussion about how the yo! of a friend is different from the yo! of a lover, the possible origins of the word yo! in the 14th century, and a bunch of pablum about plumbing the deeper meanings of yo-ness. I'd like to punch whoever wrote this shitpile in the nuts as hard as possible for devaluing the work of all engineers, everywhere. |
