Yahoo Koprol, in Major App Update, Now Integrates With BBM6

Yahoo Koprol, the first location-based social network in Indonesia, has announced that a major update to the Koprol app for BlackBerry has integrated it into Blackberry Messenger 6 (BBM6), the newest version of the hit group-messaging service.

With this integration there are interesting features that will be made available. There’s a real-time chatting feature with Koprol users through the BBM6 API, which is really exciting because with Koprol on your Blackberry, you just have to follow that user on Koprol and you don’t need to ask for their Blackberry PIN. It’s all available using the newest Koprol Blackberry app and BBM6.

A few more important features:

• You can change your avatar in Koprol to your BBM6 display picture.
• It’s easy to update your personal message or status in BBM6 right from Koprol.
• It’s now easier to invite your contacts in BBM6 to download Koprol.

Yahoo Koprol is also holding a competition whereby users can win Blackberrys such as the newly released Torch 9810, and Bold 9790 and Curve 9380. To participate, users can go to koprol.com/bbm. The contest started on November 21 and will end on January 15, 2012.

As a local success story, and the only LBS social network in the region that has amassed more than a million users, Koprol has been doing pretty well. It was one of the local apps that was featured in the recent RIM press conference in Jakarta. With a few competitors such as Bouncity and Yotomo, Koprol cannot be resting on its laurels. – hence this major app update for BlackBerry.
