The Social Site "Yopisode" Launches In Buea.
We all have
cult TV series that we run to as soon as it’s time to watch. For me it’s How I
Met Your Mother. I am often amazed how at 9pm all the ladies in my neighborhood
are glued to their TV sets watching some ‘Margo’ or ‘Eduardo’ or ‘ Marimar’ or
(insert popular Filipino series).
How often
would you want to finally settle the argument: ‘Eduardo and his twin
brother…who is more handsome?’ The other thing too is that, since some of these
series are on a national AND global stage, the audience is EVERYWHERE! Well,
Otto Paul might just have built the perfect site for loyal fans of The Big Bang
Theory or ‘Mintoumba’ or The Vampire Diaries.
Yopisode
(from Your Episode) is a social site and had its alpha version launched early this February .
It was announced on the Technology Radio Programme : Digital
Age on the University of Buea teaching radio. The beta version is being developed and could
be launching sometime around April this year.
“I noticed
that people usually spent the whole day talking about the series they had
watched the night before,” says founder Otto Paul Akama. ” I decided to make a platform where they could talk with
others in and around the country on these series that mattered to them” .
It’s simple
and straight to the point, sign-up, create a group (usually your favourite TV
series with its name of course) and get the conversation going! He promises
to add more functionalities to the beta
version. Let’s watch this unfold. I’ve already created “The Newsroom” …care to
join me?
