"The current build offers many of the rich features that allows FotoYapp to share images and social content globally and in almost any language and we expect to continue to improve the offerings through the beta cycles this spring."

Interesting infringement lawsuit. Company appears quite serious.
Good comeback. The sellers have dried up. Most investors are holding paper higher than 10 cents. With Fotoyappn currently under development investors will be less prone to sell. Any new participants will have to pay higher than 10 cents. The stock is currently @ 11 cents but I reckon if some volume buying kicks in we'll be closer to 20 cents than 10 cents.

Yappn's Fotoyapp to Offer Advanced Integration of Online Content, Web Sites and eCommerce Programs
TORONTO, CANADA AND NEW YORK, NEW YORK, Mar 11, 2014 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- Intertainment Media Inc. ("Intertainment Media" or "Company") (tsx venture:INT)(otcqx:ITMTF)(frankfurt:I4T) together with its investment portfolio company Yappn Corp. (otcqb:YPPN), the real-time multilingual amplification platform for brand messaging, eCommerce and customer support is pleased to announce that Yappn continues to expand its multilingual tool sets by offering the ability to connect images and content through its Fotoyapp ( www.fotoyapp.com ) initiatives. Yappn will be adding advanced features to its imaging connection program not currently found in many of the leading social and image sharing applications. These features will allow advanced connection of content, and other online and mobile content channels, creating unique links between images and related content.
This feature will provide the user with an opportunity to post an image, from an existing location or camera, tablet or other device and then connect it socially to content like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and other major social platforms. As an example, a food image could be connected to a restaurant's location and URL, popular restaurant rating sites and other related online content, providing viewers of the image with a total picture of the image. A restaurant in turn could share the image with its other constituents and sites, creating image and content sharing in almost 70 languages as it defaults to the viewer's language in real-time and seamlessly. This system can be duplicated for products and services where images can be used to create value for commercial purposes and connect to Yappn's eCommerce multilingual offerings.
Fotoyapp builds on the idea that "a picture is worth a thousand words" by revolutionizing social engagement allowing images and content to be linked to each other and shared instantly, in almost any language substantiating the thought that complex ideas can be conveyed through visualization. Fotoyapp creates the ability to share beyond the image integrating content from web, portable and mobile devices, allowing users to instantly connect photos and images to almost any social content and in almost any language.
The advance features will provide users with the ability to connect with their constituents, not only through social outlets but also web sites and eCommerce platforms instantly through images. This allows seamless integration of awareness and revenue based programming along with curated advertising.
Fotoyapp allows users to share socially empowered images through any platform (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, QZone, LinkedIn, Google+, Tencent, Sina Weibo, Renren and Yappn Chat), email, device or app and rewards the viewer with a completely rich experience not found anywhere else, creating People Powered Pics.
Interested parties who want to among the first to try this new platform will be able to sign up for Fotoyapp by the end of March at www.fotoyapp.com
Apo I agree Asher must go. Seeing as the company recently did a 10 cent convertible financing they can't afford to not pay Asher. Those guys really know how to take a pound of flesh.
Apo, thank you for posting that filing by Asher Enterprises. Asher is only entitled to convert debt to stock on the assumption they don't get paid out. IMO they will get paid out by the respective cut off date.

18 months to get a BILLION DOLLARS
18 months after Instagram launched, facebook came along and bought them for a billion dollars. At that point in time, April/2012, they had amassed 100 million users.
Fotoyapp may be able to aggregate users much faster. A review of the technology premise and it's various connectivity to other social media platforms GLOBALLY in up to 70 languages makes it an all encompassing social media product and e-commerce tool. Further, the mass appeal would cover a greater age spectrum given the specifics and capabilities of fotoyapp. See below:

Intertainment to introduce Fotoyapp at Feb. 28 AGSM
2014-02-27 15:47 ET - News Release
Mr. David Lucatch reports
YAPPN PROVIDES "FIRST LOOK" OF ITS NEW MULTICHANNEL CONSUMER PLATFORM FOTOYAPP AND YAPPN CHAT 2.0 AT INTERTAINMENT MEDIA ANNUAL MEETING
Intertainment Media Inc., which has a controlling interest in Yappn, the real-time multilingual amplification platform for brand messaging, e-commerce and customer support in almost 70 languages, will provide its stakeholders, at its annual general and special meeting of shareholders tomorrow, with an introductory view of Yappn's new multichannel consumer platform for Web, portable and mobile devices, allowing users to instantly connect photos and images to almost any social content and in almost any language. Yappn will also reveal a first look at its new release of Yappn Chat 2.0, which includes many new features to its global multilingual chat application.
The notion that a "picture is worth a thousand words" generally stems from a 1911 quote by newspaper editor Arthur Brisbane who said the expression: "Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words." Fotoyapp builds on that idea by revolutionizing social engagement, allowing images and content to be linked to each other, and shared instantly in almost any language, substantiating the thought that complex ideas can be conveyed through visualization. Fotoyapp creates the ability to share beyond the image.
With Fotoyapp, a user simply takes an image from a camera, tablet or computer and uploads it to Fotoyapp along with keywords that describe the image. Fotoyapp automatically adds the user's current social media accounts like Twitter, Facebook and Sina Weibo, and crawls the Web for related social media posts associated to the keywords selected by the user. The result is a stand-alone page where images are socially and visually enabled with all types of related content that automatically defaults to the viewer's language, regardless of what language the social content was posted in. Fotoyapp pairs any image with practically any social content.
Fotoyapp allows users to share socially empowered images through any platform (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, QZone, Google Plus and Yappn Chat, and many other domestic and global social systems), e-mail, device or app and rewards the viewer with a completely rich experience not found anywhere else, creating people-powered pictures.
Data as related to keywords and tags provides Fotoyapp with the ability to focus on opportunities that will maximize value. Yappn, as part of the program, has begun testing a number of revenue components that will be customized to each Fotoyapp "connection" both at the user and image level, potentially creating a "revenue map" for each image.
Interested parties who want to be among the first to try this new platform will be able to sign up for Fotoyapp by the end of March at the Fotoyapp website.
Yappn will also be revealing its updated Yappn Chat platform, which has a number of exciting new features to create globally engaged chat. With Yappn Chat, which can be customized and embedded in almost any platform, brands can engage their customers in a dialogue in almost 70 languages, as the user only sees their own native set language, allowing a free flow of communications without a language barrier.
Intertainment Media's annual general and special meeting of shareholders will be held on Feb. 28, 2014, at 9:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) at the Sheraton Parkway Hotel and Conference Centre in Richmond Hill, Ont.
We seek Safe Harbor.

leverage, Yappn has great techno but they gotta connect it to deals.
The potential here is huge.
Short-term, assuming they announce some deals, the stock could easily be .50 cents or more.
Long term, assuming a succession of deals , well over a buck.
All my opinion.
As a social media play thats globalized in nature and scope, the current valuation is very low.
Brilliant and innovative social media technology.
What's really special is the "talking" in up to 70 languages.
Nothing like it out there.
Now we need to connect it to a deal.

CORRECTION: Yappn Launches Social Imaging Technology That Make Pictures "Talk" in Almost Any Language
NEW YORK, NEW YORK--(Marketwired - Jan 8, 2014) -
This document corrects and replaces the press release that was sent today at 08:45 ET. The changes occur in the sixth and seventh paragraphs.
Yappn Corp (OTCQB:YPPN) ("Yappn or "Company") (www.yappn.com) is pleased to announce that as part of Yappn's commitment to develop new and engaging programs to create global social engagement and revenue opportunities, it is launching a new tool set and service program that enables stock photos, graphic images and other "still" media with the ability to engage or "talk" in almost 70 languages.
Traditionally, still images are single dimension for display only and limit the social content or engagement factors. Yappn's new social imaging technology allows stock images to be directly "connected" to an array of social and multimedia content, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, other social networks, video and other interactive media as part of their creation process when the image is originally managed or at a later date. Connected content will be available natively in the viewer's language of choice, making it easy to globalize any content.
The Yappn platform creates and updates content "on the fly" and can be complemented with global, multi-language chat and monetization through sponsorship, advertising and other revenue programs. Yappn has created a number of business models around its social imaging technology and is working with industry leaders to create scalable revenue opportunities.
With the insertion of a "sticker" on or around the image, content is easily connected to the image and multiple pages creating secondary and tertiary single and multiple language viewing opportunities can become available to provide additional content and revenue opportunities for online publishers.
To view a sample of the technology visit http://www.yappn.com/ and click on the "sticker" to the right of the Yappn logo. This leads you to http://socialimages.yappn.com where you can see a sample page that contains an example of a still image, any licensing or usage privileges, any connected social images, video or other multimedia along with interactive user chat. All content can be displayed in the user's native language making the image engage or "talk" in almost 70 languages.
As reference to the size and scope of the stock and still image market, in 2012, the Global Stock Image Market Research Group, based out of Heidelberg University in Germany, conducted the first ever global survey on over 2,400 image suppliers globally and in its first report found that in 2011, industry global revenues were $2.88 Billion, of which micro and smaller industry firms (approximately 2,000) generated $1.32 Billion. In the same report, the 4 largest firms, that included Getty, Corbis, Shutterstock and Fotolia accounted for a total of $1.4 Billion. Still images accounted for 94% of total image stock. http://digitalassetmanagementnews.org/industry-news/global-stock-image-market-2012-report-published/
In May 2012, a report by paidcontent.org, http://paidcontent.org/2012/05/16/microstock/ quoted Shutterstock's IPO, as referencing a BCC Research report projecting the stock photography market to be worth $5.1 billion by 2013.
"Yappn is continuing to find exciting new opportunities to monetize globalization as both domestic and international clients look for ways to grow their brands," said David Lucatch Founder and CEO of Yappn. "There are tens of thousands of new editorial, creative, sports, entertainment and stock images created daily. Yappn wants to be part of that ecosystem and we are striving to create innovative solutions to enable our technologies to be first to market in a truly global business arena."

I totally agree that the share price looks fugly.
Lots of selling pressure offsets weak buying.
It will be interesting to see how the stock performs in January.
Building out a social media platform takes time but investors need a reason for piling in.
Evidence of positive corporate execution should alter the negative momentum and turn the stock around.
Let's hope the relationship with ICM partners brings in a few big names.
More big brand partnerships and celebrity endorsement would be a wonderful kickstart.
Your share conversion is just a wee off--70 million shares???
Speculative investing is not for everyone.
Stocks are risky.
Some have the stomach.
Some don't.
I got lots of stomach for this social media play.
The premise is bold and the concept innovative despite what you say.
Are you privy to the company's Google Analytics?
If you're not, you don't have a leg to stand on.
There would be no purpose in connivance or contrivance given the caliber of brands currently worked with.
I see potential for massive growth.
IMPRESSIVE START OUT OF THE GATES;
This can only get better.
Cheers.
Yappn is getting some attention.
The Alexa Rank has improved considerably over the past 2 weeks.
Visitors are spending an average of 15 minutes on the site.
The user engagement is better than Twitter and Instagram, Foursquare, myspace, linkedin etc.
As a method of comparison, the world's number one site, Facebook, has a 30 minute user engagement.
Interestingly, we are only at the beginning on this play.
As a social media platform Yappn appears to be distinguishing itself.

A Marketing Feature from Yappn: eCommerce that speaks to everyone

The Internet has erased geographical barriers, allowing workers to telecommute and for people to communicate in real time as never before, but language and culture remain difficult obstacles, and when it comes to marketing, the world is shrinking quickly. Brands are looking to capture a global eCommerce market but are having challenges interacting with non-English speaking consumers, which can make up over 50% of online traffic with less than 1% conversion to sales due to the language barrier.
New York-based Yappn Corp. (OTCBB:YPPN), with offices in Toronto, is connecting individuals and corporations through social engagement across devices, platforms and languages in real time, allowing consumers to interact with brands in their native tongue. The key to global revenue for many companies is their ability to engage customers in any language when it comes to their eCommerce platform. Yappn believes that it has solved this problem.
“Language is probably the largest, last barrier for online communications,” says CEO and Founder David Lucatch. According to the 2011 census, over 66 million people (21% of the population) do not speak English at home. Over 67% of the world’s population surfs the net in a language other than English.
Companies have taken notice and have targeted their marketing campaigns accordingly. In May 2011, Subaru conducted an integrated marketing campaign aimed at Chinese-Americans, with videos on its Chinese-language YouTube site and Cantonese and Mandarin print ads running in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Global brands such as McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Tylenol and IBM market heavily in China.
Meanwhile, the Hispanic market in the U.S. is valued at $1.2 trillion. In 2011, Walmart set out to double its multicultural marketing and was awarded the inaugural Marketer of the Year award by AHAA: The Voice of Hispanic Marketing. Nissan spent $35 million of its advertising budget on Hispanic marketing in 2012, while Ram Trucks and Pepsi use Latin American stars in their advertising.
Closer to home, TD Bank was the most popular choice for opening new accounts among newly arrived Canadians from Chinese and South Asian countries in 2011. With Canada taking in an average of 245,613 immigrants per year, marketers believe that the two day window after arrival is the most crucial time to convert new arrivals into customers. Competition among banks for this market is fierce.
And now the challenge for 2013-2014 is to market to globalized millennials, with marketing campaigns blurring the lines between linguistic and cultural groups, as hybrid languages such as Taglish and Singlish gain in popularity, not to mention the increasing dominance of the pop charts by K-Pop and Bollywood stars. Recently, at the YouTube Video Awards, a stunned audience fell silent as a K-Pop group took the honours for video of the year, beating out the likes of Lady Gaga and others. The global audience has truly arrived.
Yappn, out to change the way global eCommerce is done, is currently working with a number of dynamic U.S. brand leaders who are looking to expand their eCommerce activities to both a larger domestic, non-English speaking and global audience. This is new territory for potentially lucrative revenue and additional sales in a new market segment for these brands, and so Yappn has developed a business model that delivers its eCommerce multi-language service platform at no upfront cost to qualified brands (with at least $2 Million in annual online sales), beginning with one to three languages, and employing an affiliate-style, revenue-sharing model, averaging 12% to 15% of sales beyond a certain point with the possibility of integrating up to 70 languages. The no-cost initiation allows businesses to tap into an entirely new non-English speaking market without having to hire multi-lingual staff and incurring significant technology costs, as Yappn’s tool sets are already in commercial use in other market segments.
Yappn also provides unique social engagement components that allow customers to chat with each other, review and engage a brand’s social media in up to 70 languages. Yappn Tools also delivers analytics as to who is using your platform, according to language and location demographics, allowing brands to understand their global audience and to position products and services on a geographic basis. Brands don’t have to invest and install new software, as they retain the eCommerce platform they are currently using, while engaging non-English domestic and international markets with Yappn’s tool sets.
eCommerce has grown 13% annually over the last five years, and is forecast to grow 77% in North America and Western Europe between 2011 and 2016, while growing 146% in Latin America and 197% in Asia Pacific during the same timeframe. So while the need to sell online is urgent for English-only retailers, an even greater reward awaits those who can tap the non-English markets that are set to explode.
The controlling shareholder of Yappn, Canadian Technology Incubator, Intertainment Media Inc. (TSXV:INT) has another company, Ortsbo, a commercial real-time language services platform specializing in creating programs for large Business Process Outsourcing companies in the global customer care space. Ortsbo holds the Guiness world record for “most nationalities in an online chat room” set in May 20, 2011, with a total of 92 logged in simultaneously (four discounted for not being recognized as UN member states: Hong Kong, Macao, Puerto Rico and Taiwan) during a KISS-themed chat moderated by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. Ortsbo is the engine that powers Yappn’s simultaneous translation capabilities.
Yappn has already successfully deployed programs with companies like Disney for their latest films Thor, The Dark World and Disney’s new animated feature Frozen, creating global game-like programs and live, global, multi-lingual chats integrating with social platforms like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and others.
Yappn’s online chat platform has grown its user base more than 1,700% since the end of October, through the Yappn chat platform’s pilot program, featuring above average metrics for user engagement. The chat forums are furthermore segmented according to interest, rather than by language or location, which opens the possibility for tremendous growth in topic-driven engagement across cultures and languages. The Yappn chat platform can be embedded directly into a brand’s website.
Yappn’s social engagement and eCommerce tools allow brands to “build once and deploy everywhere”, embedding social media and real-time marketing into existing platforms. “Yappn will continue to evolve, define itself and create new areas of revenue as globalization engagement by conventional and online brands becomes a continuing high priority in the race to expand opportunities and dominate worldwide business activities,” says Lucatch.
Gotta love the goof that hits the bid all day long in bits and pieces.
These clowns that provided the shell for Yappn have been nothing but thorns with freetrading paper that only see the neon of a exit sign.
Well, they gotta be running out soon.
A review of the trading activities since April confirms that all their freetrading paper has almost rolled over.
Love the game, hate SOME of the players.
House positions.
Does anyone have stats as to which market maker sold what in the last 30, 60, 90 days?
Thanks in advance.
Great volume today.
1.6 million plus so far.
Good for flushing out sellers or one particular seller still lurking around from the Plesk shell.
The news continues to be all good from Yappn.

1234, if your only concern is the website design, back up the truck why dontcha?
No other social media platform does what Yappn does on a globalized basis.
Some investors that are merely observing this stock are going to end up flatfooted when the run starts.
It's merely a matter of time in my opinion.
