About
We are just a bunch of young people who dream of making something ordinary becoming extraordinary every other day. We sit and think and sleep and think and finally we had this idea of replacing the old yellow directory to something more attractive, modern and daring. This is how we came up with the idea of . It sounded silly in the beginning. With Google powerful search engine, who needs a directory? But we just could not stop thinking about it. We kept talking and talking and everything seems closer to reality as though it could really happen.
Yes, we believe small businesses still need to advertise their product or list their companies and the current advertising medium is too expensive for them. Well, Google may be powerful in their searching tools but their search area is too wide and we want our online directory to be more interesting.
We envision being a complete directory that everyone can find everything with it in a fun way. Besides that, company and individuals can showcase their creativity and design using their card. We hope this will help the growth in the creative industry as well.
community will also bring more people together through our wide network and let all our members mingle with each other.
How perfect and rationale this silly idea has turned out to be! We still could risk not being successful at all but through many biographies of esteemed entrepreneurs, each says we should believe in our vision and strive towards it without looking back. That is EXACTLY what we are going to do.
We had a hard time trying to derive the name for this project. It has to be relevant but yet cool and totally different from the rest. Now, it is not easy to be creative about a name but it is even harder to make sure the name is still available. After at least a 3 hours of brainstorming session, we shortlisted a few names such as adracle (being the thought of ad and oracle), pictorad (stands for picture directory with ads) and .com (we had a tagline going for this already). We cast our votes and decoded to go with . With our tagline saying ‘We Yell Your Post’, this is just perfect. It means, you post your card here and we will do the yelling (i.e marketing or promoting). It also sound as y’all post (you all post) when you say it out fast. What could be better than this?
The name was not as much work as the planning and development bit. It takes us week to plan, thinking what we want to have in this site and what would be useful to people who use this site. It has to be logic and workable. As said earlier, we all have big dreams for but these dreams we may need to hold back during the initial stage and because of all these other featured that we need to do in stages, we decided to launch the Beta version first. The development stage took us about 3 months to get everything up in order and well tested. The whole team worked hand in hand, day and night to complete our Beta version.
The team at hopes you will love our idea and have fun in our site. We also hope this online directory will be useful for you.
