A love letter for Yahoo! Koprol

Dear Koprol and Yahoo,

You guys have been working together for over a year and Koprol has been around for over 2.5 years but we haven’t seen major adoption of your service by third party apps and services thanks to your lack of open API. What is going on? Why can’t you guys get your shit together so you can finalize and release your damn API?

Many of your feature releases are ahead of Foursquare. Those guys are actually catching up with a lot of the stuff that your team put together in the past 2 years, these include image hosting, threaded comments, nearby venues, business profiles, and venue reviews.

So why aren’t you throwing your weight around?

You’re like that guy who everybody knows is faster than the guys racing on the track but you can’t be bothered to get your ass down there and show that you actually are.

Some of your supporters are happy with where you guys are but give me a break, they’re not pushing you ahead of the curve! They’re your cheerleaders which means they’re all cheering for you but they don’t coach you to raise your limits and stay ahead.

Are you trying to kill yourselves over there? Cuz if you’re not, you definitely aren’t showing it.

From where I’m sitting, you guys look like you’re happy just watching the race from the stands when you can actually do better had you have the guts to stand up and get your lazy ass down there to the tracks.

So, Koprol, are you going to join the race or are you just gonna sit down on the bleachers, stuff yourself full of hotdogs, and drown yourself in soda?

  1. I agree (see http://sangatpedas.com/indonesia-startups-war/). I think it’s time for some extreme measures, I mean strikes, massive demonstrations, mobilizing all media, making a demands list,  DDOS attacks, I mean the works and nothing less. PEOPLE UNITE, SAVE KOPROL!!!

    *does await official Koprol response, come in Dreampipie, Dreampipe come in – over*
