Great news, Koprollers! Koprol is now a part of Yahoo!
The whole Koprol team, including the founders and employees, are joining Yahoo! - where we will focus on expanding Koprol. Rest assured Koprol isn’t going anywhere, in fact it will get bigger with you in Indonesia and beyond.
We will continue our mission of helping you discover new and exciting people and places, but with the support and strength of Yahoo! You can expect our planned features to be delivered faster than previously thought - including mobile apps, an Indonesian language version, business accounts, and who knows what else we have in store for you.
