FYI, here's an email I just opened from 'the Yuku Team' ~ Sooz
Dear Yuku board admin,
We have good news to share with you.
Inform Technologies has acquired Yuku. Going forward, Inform and Yuku will collaborate to bring you the best products for communities to interact, explore interests, and share knowledge.
At the heart of Inform is a semantic engine. That semantic engine analyzes content and drives new opportunities in content creation, curation, and distribution. Publishers use Inform web services to increase readership and reader engagement with their content.
The combination of Yuku and Inform will present new opportunities to enhance, surface, and provide context for community content generated on the Yuku platform. We are hard at work on those opportunities, so stay tuned. In the meantime, we are focused on continued improvement of the quality and functionality of the core Yuku platform.
Thank you for choosing Yuku as the platform for your community. We have always believed it is the best place to host the communities you care about, and are excited to start this next chapter with Inform. We hope you share our enthusiasm, and we are looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards and happy holidays,
The Yuku Team
