Launching few months ago, yup.vn is a mixture of social networks and information sharing gateway for Young Urban Professionals. The website is target on other segment among pool of social networks in Vietnam, Yup.vn focuses mainly on restaurant, tourism and events in main cites of Vietnam (in the near future, Yup.vn believe that coverage the rest region is not over their expectation). All Yup members can post and praise and vote for their favorite places or gently criticize the not good point of the spot. It’s useful for others who want to have a neutralist comments.
Social network is not a new concept, yet the founder of Yup has recognized that there is no playground for like-minded people who love to travel, to eat out with family and friends, or just want to keep update the schedule of coming events in town. In facts, there are few forum attracts thousands of active members in posting and sharing ideas about their interested places, but all the information was listed as threads of discussing and was not systemize for later looking through. In additional, these kinda forums are less interactive as social network model; by using web 2.0, Yup provides many strong features to manage your post, to rate, to keep track and get alert whenever your post receive comment. The network also has some fantastic application such as “Message Board” for short discuss, testimonial for presenting to each others, integrated useful map to navigate the users easily…
All Yup information was be filtered before on live to avoid redundancy and inexactness, so Yup is a good way to reference, to check others’ comment and experience about the place you plan to go to, or just want to search for contact details. With ambition to be the Vietnam “Lonely Planet”, I believe the site much grown in next year.
