yUp! silently opens Beta just before Tet holiday. My impression is that their efforts are spent to organize and provide most relevant information to users.
New features
Chatting
Talks has been added. It works the same way as that of a simple forum. This should allow more interactions between yUppers.
Large publish button
Security options
Security levels for user profile & homepage.
Design
The new layout is nice and neat with a lot of spaces to breath. The design concords perfectly with the mission of organizing information of the website.
Organizing information
Homepage
On its homepage, instead of throwing a lot of options in directories on users, only hottest ones are displayed: yUp’s Picks, Highest Rating.
yUp’s Picks and Highest Rating goes the same for Venues.
Events
Events tab makes it even further: they provide Week view of events. Navigation can be done chiefly through the calendar which is very convenient
Treeview
Categories on the treeview have been simplified to 4, which makes to less confusing for users.
Conclusion
Information organization is what makes success of Google. Can we say the same for yUp!?
