Yabb, a Vocal Social Network
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I managed to get an invite to join Yabb (beta), a new Social Network project by Bebo co-founder, Paul Birch. According to Yabb, “yabb lets you talk more and type less by connecting you with people and topics you’re interested in”
How it works
1. Find a conversation topic of interest to you
2. Pick someone with interesting thoughts who has joined that topic
3. Send them a call request by ‘asking them to Skype you’They can now call you over Skype. While you wait, you can join other topics, add your thoughts and send more call requests.

You can sign-up to register your interest and they’ll mail you once they’re accepting more participants.
I spent an hour on the site after joining and I liked what I saw. It’s not what people are familiar with, if you spend time on sites like Facebook, you will find Yabb far less distracting. It’s very slimmed down, so it does the job it was made for very well.
I was able to get to grips with it very quickly and I’ll be putting it on my list of sites I visit daily.
I see a huge potential for Yabb in 2008.
There is also a short interview with Paul Birch, by Paul Walsh in his blog.
P.S. Thanks Paul Walsh for making it easy to post to my blog today.
