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!

New Features

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:

1. On Twitter, go to Account Settings and check ‘Enable geotagging’
2. On Koprol, go to Settings > Sharing and connect to Twitter

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.
