Koprol was invited as guest on tvOne morning show “Apa Kabar Indonesia Akhir Pekan” on Sunday, 10 January 2009, alongside Kaskus, to talk about the rise of social networking media.
It turned out to be a record-breaking day for Koprol , as it logged its highest sign-ups in one day – 3736 new Koprollers. DailySocial also mentioned this in its blog.
The record day came with a price though, as Koprol’s server was bombarded with kazillion requests at the same time, which significantly reduced our server response-time. Apologize to those who experienced problems signing-in, we’re working to avoid the same problem in the near future (new server, here we come!).
Guys, please welcome the new Koprollers. Get to know and be good to thy neighbors!
More pics after the jump
It’s been an amazing year for Koprol, and you’ve been a good boy or girl. All 19,000 of you. So here’s a little stocking stuffer from us: another feature update! Hopefully these include what you wished for. We’ve got lots more coming next month. Happy holidays!
1. Mute
You got summoned and got stuck in a thread (or roll or prol or trail) that just won’t end? You can now click the mute button and stop getting notifications. Finally!
2. Block
Blocking a person not just avoids you from getting comments from that person, it also avoids you from getting summoned.
3. Tabs
More content is coming in the right-hand column, so we’ve organized it by adding tabs to the boxes. Expect to see more cool stuff in there later.
4. Multiple Review
Want to make a new review of the same place? Before, you have to replace your old review. Now, we will keep your old reviews. But take note: we only count your last rating.
5. Easier Suggest Place
It’s now easier to submit a new place. Like before, when you search a place and can’t find it, just scroll down the page to suggest a new place. Now, we auto fill the name, and there’s an easy text box to choose the area. Just start typing and a list will show up. Choose and proceed.
6. Connect Yahoo! & Facebook to existing account
Even if you have not connected your Koprol account with Yahoo! or Facebook, you can still click those buttons before login. We will then ask you to connect to your existing Koprol account.
7. View Mobile version on your computer
On slow connection? Here’s a tip. Try our Mobile version from your computer. Just go to m.koprol.com. At anytime, you can switch between the mobile version and standard version through a link at the bottom.
Important: Please clear your browser’s cache & cookies, for these new features to work properly.

We got free themes from the best in the business, without even asking.
Let us introduce to you the first custom-made Koprol Blackberry themes, made as a contribution from Indonesia’s leading BlackBerry theme makers: idberry & gindrag. Thank you, guys!

Koprol has been tested since 10 months ago, but in just these last 2 weeks our membership increased by 40%. We didn’t do any promoting so we think this was caused by the Yahoo! Open Hack Day, amazing press coverage, mentions in Twitter, mentions in BlackBerry community, and through word of mouth.
More than just new signups, we also saw increase in the stickiness and interactivity. Pageviews increased by 300% and comments increased by 400%. And the best is yet to come!
Twitter Geotagging
Whaddya know? Twitter finally goes location too! But you can’t add geotagging from Twitter yet. You have to use other apps like Koprol. To add location in your tweets, just do these 2 things:
No Hashtags
You can now crosspost without hashtags! We added an option for you to not include our location hashtags. Just go to Settings > Sharing, then under Twitter select “none”. Now your Koprol tweets are clean.
Change Username
Hate that long ugly username you picked? No worries. You can now change your username by going to Settings . Just be careful! All your previous mentions will not link to your new profile page. And other people are allowed to takeover your old username. So think twice.
The best is yet to come
Expect our native BlackBerry app and our full-featured ‘business account’ to be available for testing in 2 months. Details coming soon.

SIARAN PERS
Koprol, suatu jaringan sosial buatan lokal, diperkenalkan oleh Yahoo! sebagai contoh pemakai Yahoo! API dalam Yahoo Open Hack Day 2009 yang berlangsung 21-22 Nov di Balai Kartini.
Open Hack Day bertujuan memperkenalkan Yahoo! Developer Tools seperti Yahoo! API ke para pengembang Asia Tenggara dengan memberikan penyuluhan gratis selama sehari, kemudian lomba hacking menggunakan Yahoo! API selama semalam. Open Hack sudah sering dilakukan di Amerika dan negara lain, tapi baru kali ini di Asia Tenggara.
Koprol membuktikan bahwa Yahoo! Tools sangat menguntungkan untuk produk lokal semacam Koprol, karena bisa mendatangkan pemakai Yahoo! yang jumlahnya sangat banyak, dan juga implementasinya sangat mudah. Dalam waktu kurang dari seminggu, Koprol telah implementasikan 3 API yang sangat berguna, yaitu:
Selain sebagai contoh kasus, Koprol juga terlibat dalam Open Hack Day sebagai juri. Chief Technology Officer kami, Daniel Armanto, menjadi salah satu dari 6 juri lokal dan internasional.
Mengenai Koprol
Koprol adalah jaringan sosial berbasis lokasi pertama di Indonesia. Bisa diakses melalui melalui mobile web, Koprol membantu pemakai ponsel berbagi foto, resensi tempat, dan melakukan diskusi dengan orang disekitarnya. Koprol juga bisa memberi saran tempat yang popular di sekitar, seperti restoran dan toko, berdasarkan penilaian orang.
Koprol telah dicoba sejak awal 2009 dan telah diterima baik di antara pers, komunitas teknologi, dan tentunya komunitasnya sendiri yang terus berkembang. Koprol bertujuan menjadi panduan kota yang sosial, dan menjadi ruang promosi untuk usaha lokal. Dalam waktu dekat, Koprol akan tersedia sebagai aplikasi mobile dan akan menawarkan promosi khusus dari usaha lokal.
Koprol diciptakan dan didanai sendiri oleh SkyEight, perusahaan pengembang software di daerah Barito, Jakarta Selatan.
