Yahoo! Inc.
on Wednesday announced Yahoo! Post, a new forum that allows users, particularly
Indonesians, to search various topics and share interests online.
Yahoo!
Southeast Asia regional product marketing manager Aryo Kresnadi said Yahoo!
Post was different to other web-based services because it combines search-based
products with community features for content discovery.
“Usually,
when we look for something using a search engine we get a link. In Yahoo! Post,
we get a forum of discussion where we can get information as well as meet
people with similar interests by simply entering a keyword,” Aryo said
Wednesday.
Aryo added
that Yahoo! Post offers three levels of participation: contributor, voter and
forum moderator. Active members who contribute to a specific forum in Yahoo!
Post can be promoted to higher levels.
They can
also nominate themselves to become forum moderators by obtaining votes from
other members.
A similar
platform, KPost, has been available in Hong Kong and Korea since 2010.
Aryo said
Yahoo! Post was part of Yahoo! efforts to innovate in Indonesia, one of the
most important Internet markets in Southeast Asia.
