y-spot
y-spot urban wireless communities is a new project from yalla ya! y-spot, is an innovative new project that focuses on information for people who want access to information regarding their community. The wifi platform and front page social network for urban and local information provides users with local news, music events, art expositions and word of mouth recommendations on restaurants, bars, parks and movies, all based on the geographical location, or community of the user. y-spot essentially provides a personal bubble for users within the Internet based on the information they are interested in, and want to receive. In essence y-spot provides the accessing user with relevant news and information within a 10km radius of their current location. Content is tagged geogrpahically and is also done so according the user’s personal interests. The basis of y-spot focuses on Internet being a free and open forum as opposed to one that is locked or profit driven.
Because of yalla ya!’s extensive experience with web 2.0 technologies, creating social networks and working on Internet communities, yalla ya! was able to build a prototype model for y-spot that provided them with the technological solutions for the challenges this particular project faced. yalla ya! successfully tracked wifi markets, usage and cultural information for Mexico City, where the first y-spot communities are planned to be launched.
