Today we introduced a new version of Yakaz. We’ve simplified the design to make it easier than ever to follow what you care about around you, connect with your neighbors and discover local topics that matter.
What's new? Yakaz is more social, more local, more fun !
New features for your posts: Attach URLs, pictures, directions to your posts, and label them with topics.
New stuff to share with your neighbors: Review places you know, Learn about local events, Question your local network.
- Classifieds: Want to sale, rent, offer services, ask or give a job ? You should use one of these categories.
- Questions: Want to know how to prepare a Margarita ? Ask your neighbors...
- Events: Let your neighbors know about a garage sale, the next gigs in your block, etc..
- Reviews: Review your favorite coffee shop, rate your local experiences. Loved a restaurant? Say it here!
Choose a #topic to add additional information to your posts and categorize them in a context:
All topics are possible and will help you start discussions with neighbors who share similiar interests.
Other users may want to talk about the same topic!
Enter a #TopicName to find all the discussions.
For example with the topic "video games", search #VideoGames.
Sharing is now fun and rewarded with Yakaz Badges:
Become a local expert in a topic by collecting badges.
The more active you are in a topic, the smarter your topic badge becomes: from "Follower" to "King Expert"!
You also have the opportunity to earn many more badges. For instance, get the "Cute Face" badge adding a profile pic, or the "Commentator" badge answering to several questions. Badges will help you show up your expertise, but also know directly who you can rely on.
Check our "Take a Tour" and "Help" pages to learn more about the new features of Yakaz.
