- scott_s 12y agoIt is, but it's slower. You typically have to say something, and even typing "yo" takes more effort than using an app specialized for it - and when all of human language is available, people often aren't comfortable just saying "yo". Instead they may feel compelled to type out "Are you available now?" Using an app makes it okay to just send one bit of information. It can be done in two presses: one to open the app, one to ping the person. Please note I am not arguing that Yo is worth the money invested in them. I do, however, think that many of the comments went too far in the other direction to say the idea has no utility.
