Yappn Corp. (YPPN)

[mackky]

Yappn fan bois claim that Yappn's technology is proprietary and unique. We did a review of their Fotoyapp application, and this is what we noticed. You be the judge.


1. Go to http://fotoyapp.com/v1/profile.php

(BTW, they don't even know how to build a functioning login gate. It's supposed to be "invitation only", but anyone can view the site by going to the above link).

2. Click on any of the photos on the page

3. In the pop up, scroll down until you see the feed of Twitter & Instagram posts. Note the style & functionality of those posts.

4. Now look at:

http://www.designchemical.com/blog/index.php/premium-wordpress-plugins/wordpress-social-stream-social-network-wall/

Notice the style of those posts. That's right, they're the same. They are using a standard, off-the-shelf, 3rd party Wordpress plugin built by Design Chemical. This plugin is available to anyone. Meaning, if Yappn is marketing this as proprietary tech, then that has implications across the board.
