#indonesia koprol

This little bit of news got me a little jealous -- Indonesian social networking website, Koprol, was just bought by Yahoo! Koprol allows users to submit photos and reviews of places they "checked-in" using their mobile phone. Indonesia is a huge market in the mobile world (BlackBerry is equally popular) and it's not a big surprise that they have their own home-brewed location-based community. The fact that one can use Koprol using the phone's web browser is an advantage that allows the site to be accessible from a wider set of mobile handsets (not just smartphones). did not disclose how much it bought Koprol but it surely is way cheaper than the $100 million they allegedly offered to get FourSquare. And while FourSquare is slowly becoming popular among Filipinos, the Indonesians must be proud to have their very own site snatched up by a global company like Yahoo! Indonesia will begin restricting access to social media platforms for users under the age of 16 starting March 28, according to an announcement from the country’s communication and digital affairs ministry. Communication and Digital Affairs Minister Meutya Hafid said the new regulation will require “high-risk” digital platforms to remove accounts belonging to Indonesian users below the age limit.
