In the midst of meetings, classes, deadlines, debates, and the normal daily grind, it’s easy to get caught up in a hectic week and mentally check out until Friday.

Read MoreTyler and I created Yik Yak to let people connect with everyone around them, and it’s become a place where communities share news, crack jokes, ask questions, offer support, and build camaraderie. It’s also a place where communities can engage in open and honest conversation – and we love seeing discussion that is productive and thoughtful. With the power of open and honest conversation comes a great level of individual responsibility, however, because those words form the basis of a community. And at its core, Yik Yak is your community; it’s an extension of the real world directly around you.

Thanks to you, Yik Yak has expanded across college campuses in the US and is quickly making its way into cities and universities around the world. It’s almost hard to believe at one point you couldn’t vote or reply on yaks, peek into other locations, or post a photo on Yik Yak! But even as we look back at how much the app has evolved, there’s still so much we want to do – all with the core goal of connecting you with the community around you.
