Yazzem, the simple topic creator for Twitter or FriendFeed, has launched version 2 of their online service. Yazzem allows you to start topics about anything you want, basically creating a new way to interact with both Twitter and FriendFeed. Once the topics have been created, anyone can join your topic to connect and discuss about it in 140 characters or less. Yazzem launched in June 2008, and has picked up quite a user base for a very specific core audience.
Launching in version 2 of Yazzem is a redesign of the Yazzem site, themes that users can choose from for their page, and latest activity streams for all your friends. Also launching with this version is subscribers, which is similar to Twitter followers or FriendFeed subscribers. Another key feature that is launching is user stats, so now users will be able to see information like number of subscribers and activities a particular user has deciding whether or not to subscribe to them.
Yazzem also launched a new mobile version of Yazzem which is basically just a redesign of the old mobile version that fits much better for iPhone and iPod Touch users when browsing on the go.
It’s unclear how Yazzem will make money, but for such a young company, Yazzem does show some promising features and a future. Yazzem was started by Zachary Collins and Dustin Snider, who are both 14 years of age.
Thanks for the great post Daniel!
Yazzem seems to be an amazing simple topic creator. It is really doing a great job that allows anyone to share their thoughts on Twitter about anything that interests them by starting and joining topics. The impressive key feature is launching the user stats,which gives detailed information about the number of subscribers and activities of a particular user.
Hope this redesign improves user activity!
Great post Daniel. Very well done article!
I just check it out and i love it. Great work!
I’m confused about this part:
“…basically creating a new way to interact with both Twitter and FriendFeed.”
I don’t see any kind of interaction when I signed up. Am I missing something?
Their service is like Twitter and FriendFeed…
Fair enough…but the wording is really misleading. I’m not knocking them – when I was 14 I couldn’t have come up with anything like this.
Yazzem brings FriendFeed in with Twitter and adds a spin to it. If you have any questions on the service feel free to e-mail me or join yazzem and ask around.
Thanks,
Dustin Snider
