    Yaketee: new way to yak

    Yaketee (‘ya-ke-t’E) is a message board with a twist. To post and read messages, you have to be on the same network as the people you’re exchanging messages with.

    Using WiFi at the coffee shop? You can post messages that everyone else there can read. Maybe you’re at a conference, the office, or want your roommates’ attention, if they can only lay off the XBox for a bit.

    Yaketee messages are sticky so you can use it for lost and found, haikus, raves and rants, shopping list, geocaching and what not. What you do with it is up to you, but please be nice to others.

    Yaketee doesn’t use peer-to-peer so there’s no client application to install. When you access our servers from a hotspot or home/office router, the router masks your IP address with its own. Yaketee uses that to match all the people accessing it from the same place.

    So you really only need to remember one URL: http://yaketee.com.

    How easy is that?

    There’s no guarantee you’ll get laid, but you’ll have fun using it, so check it out.

      Ok, well that’s just too clever for words. Nice.

      You got me thinking. Aren’t most of these IPs: home, coffee shop, etc., likely to be dynamic? How does Yaketee handle the fact that one day the external IP is x.x.x.x and the next it’s x.x.x.y?

      Some are, and we’ll have a solution for that soon.

      How are you going to solve the dynamic IP problem? You said you’ll have a solution for that but for the life of me I have no idea what it could be.

      @Yaniv Post something. That makes you a member of that location and lets you change the location name.

      Pretty cool idea, I will check it out. Let’s see if it works in Germany, too. (You don’t know our networks) ;-)

      @Martin, it will probably take a couple of weeks, but we think we have a good solution for that. I’ll post more when it’s ready.
