As of this morning, 10,257 people all over Pakistan are actively using yellO.pk to stay connected with their friends and the people around them. Need I not mention that the traffic on yellO is already of 40,000 people of those 10,000 are registered Yellers.

This is an important milestone for all of you who have helped spread yellO and helped it reach where it is today. Now a lot more people have the opportunity to stay connected with the people they care about, what they are saying and find out what’s going on around them.

yellO reached 10 thousand users 2 weeks ago and since then almost 300 more people have joined it. If yellO keeps growing exponentially then it wouldn’t be a surprise if it reaches 20,000 by the start of next year Inshallah.

Since its inception in March 2009, yellO has grown, both as a social network/community and as a team. We started with just two people in the yellO team and now it has more than 10 people working to make it better. We have covered all of Karachi in terms of entering businesses in the yellO database and have moved on to Lahore to add more business listings for you to review.

For all iphone users, our mobile apps developers made an awesome iyellO app which makes exploring your city  all the more fun and easy while you’re on the move. There’s good news for all Android and Blackberry users too, your cool apps are on their way as well. Furthermore, the yellO Magazine is on its last stages of legal formalities, once those are sorted out, we’ll be all set to get yellO in print too.

Anyway, all those who’ve been with yellO since the beginning, believed in its concept and wanted its success and those who have joined it recently and are enthusiastic about it, I want to thank you all once again for being part of making yellO.pk what it is today. Hope to see most of you at the yellO Meet-up on 8th Aug.

The summer months are already upon us and it’s hard to believe June is almost over. Some of you have already left for your tours but I’m sure many of you are still making plans to go up-north.

It does not matter whether you are exploring a new city in Pakistan or going back to your hometown where you haven’t been in quite a while, one of the most essential item that you shouldn’t forget to pack is yellO.pk. If its a developed city like Lahore, Islamabad or Karachi that you are going to, internet will not be a problem but if you have an iphone with the iyello app, you are in for some great fun.

Heading off to Margalla hills from Karachi and having a stopover in Lahore and Islamabad for a couple of days? yellO.pk will help you navigate hotel/motels and restaurants to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Through yellO you can look for shopping areas, amusement arcades, beauty salon and even chemists (hopefully not) etc so that these cities are not just stopovers for you but part of your vacation.

And let’s not forget the importance of food during holiday. Part of summer vacations is to try out different cuisines and delicacies. yellO.pk gives you ideas for restaurants that are nearby as well as what people think about them.

However, if you are planning a staycation, that is staying where you are and not planning to go anywhere, then you definitely need to find out what’s happening here so that your kids don’t drive you crazy. yellO.pk has all the updated events: Melas, festivals, theatre plays, concerts and summer camps too. But if you are planning a vacation and aren’t able to decide where to go, check out some options for travel agents and they’ll work something out for you.

Happy holidays with yellO.pk guys!
