It’s hard to break away from the day-today routine. A good distraction is usually a good idea. Sometimes it’s a friendly face, a nap or your favorite food.
Sometimes it’s a great question, like this one: What song makes you feel good?
We’re happy to announce that Yedda is the main sponsor for Mash Bash, Tel Aviv, a tech event produced by Mashable, a leading American internet industry blog.
It’s a hoot for us that the event is in Tel Aviv, where our R&D is located and a great opportunity for the entire local start up community to meet, connect and share.
If you want to attend or get more details on the event, see the announcement on Mashable.
One of the most popular topics on Yedda are questions about dieting and eating habits. For me, there is no better time to bring up these sort of questions than after a weekend when the work day begins and the heaviness starts to burden.
angela1quarry asks: How long does it take before you start seeing results from dieting?
OrgeLvr27 asks: Will birth control effect my ability to lose weight or will it make me gain weight?
liaty asks: How can you continue a diet in the long run?
The ultimate questions is: Will I go on a diet right now? Probably not 
.
It’s officially official. We have just announced the launch of our partner program. The first 100 launch partners have already signed up and are using Yedda’s ask & answer features on their sites.
For content sites and publishers, the Partner Program is a great way to get ask & answer features to increase engagement, extend reach throughout Yedda’s syndication network. This network includes prominent AOL sites and partner sites and is always growing.
Here is a list of a some of our partners: HomeTips, ArticlesBase, QueryCat, PhysOrg and there are many more. This brings our network of users to tens of millions per month that can easily access Yedda’s Ask & Answer features.
For a more thorough explanation and some partner examples, take a look at our official announcement.
To join the partner program please go to our partner sign up page or email BizDev@Yedda.com.
On your way to Ad:Tech SF? So are members our feisty Biz Dev team. If you want to chit chat or have a closer look at how Yedda can power your site with questions and answers (Yep, Yedda is actually a platform!) head over to booth #6573. Remember, they are biz dev so approach with caution… but I can say from experience that they don’t bite and actually offer a pretty sweet deal for publishers or content sites.
p.s.
If you want to get in touch with them and you can’t get over to SF, just email us and we’ll get back to you promptly.
One of the links on Yedda you sometimes don’t notice even though it’s strategically placed at the top left right of every page is the feedback link. If you have something you want to tell us, any kind of problem or error, and even if you want to say a good thing, please send us your feedback. Yedda has changed and evolved from its inception and many of the changes originate from your great feedback.
We do get feedback about problems and stuff you don’t like in Yedda (which is great, because that way we can make things better), but this morning we got this feedback that really made me smile:
Yedda is addictive. it’s way too much fun and hard not to be a smart ass with some of the questions
Thanks!
It’s that time of the month… well not THAT time… its the time we send our monthly Yedda newsletter. You can check it out right here if you haven’t already received it (how could that have happened?).
The highlight of this newsletter was our announcement that we are giving away free Yedda T-shirts to the first 20 people who email us and are willing to upload their photo wearing the shirt to Flickr. What can I say? The response was tremendous and within a few minutes we passed the t-shirt quota we had set.
To everyone who sent us an email, we’ll get back to you very soon. To anyone who didn’t make it this time around, we’ll let you know that you should try again next time. We’ll actually try to see if we can send more shirts to some of the people that didn’t make the first 20. The best thing is to keep trying next month (or maybe sooner :-). In any case, check out the blog for updates on this.
In the meanwhile, here is a preview of the all new Yedda shirt that we’ll send to the lucky winners (click to view a larger image):
There are actually other types of shirts with other prints on them and I’ll link to them in the blog as soon as they are on Flickr (hint hint…).
To Anyone that was fooled, the following post is, off course, an April Fools Day prank.
Yes, we have done it! Our efforts paid off and all the guys at the office chipped in so that Microsoft’s efforts won’t succeed. Yahoo has been completely transferred to Yedda after purchansing all stock and will be moving it’s R&D to Yedda’s headquarters immediately.
The atmosphere at Yahoo is great ever since the deal was announced and Yahoo employees have already started using Yedda’s superior services.
Here are some examples of questions they asked.
The final share value that we offered to outbid Microsoft cannot be announced right now, but it was a pretty sweet deal for both sides. We have even renovated our office in order to make more room for all the new Yahoos.
Update: Questions are already starting to come in on this issue.
