Soo, i finally got on the whole "Yik Yak" app thing, and I wanted to see what you guyses thought about the whole shebang.

For those of you who dont know, its basically an anonomous message board that uses your location and shows you yaks around you. Yaks are like messages ( I may have made up that terminology)


SOOO basically the yak in my area (Frostburg, mid/small college town) is all like greek shit, who is hot in DZ, Megan needs to stop suking dix in bathrooms at parties, that kind of stuff, mixed with some slight racism, and i was wondering what the posts are like in your area / how frequent. Posts are about 1 per minute here, maybe a little less.

I live near Bucknell University so I'm in their yak radius. I see why they're known for their yak game

I think it's fun. At my college it's mostly people bitching about the WiFi, complaining about school, some really horny kids, reposted jokes from twitter/tumblr/reddit, and some really entertaining stuff. It can lead to bad group think, though, because people just tend to agree with everyone else and different opinions are voted down. It's worth a download.

My girlfriend goes there and all of the Yik Yaks are horribly bitchy Greek references. That school is probably one of the world's largest collections of homogenous entitled shitheads

I just downloaded the app to see what everybody is talking about... Most of the yaks are about hott chicks at the local community college. I did get a degree from there and damn now I miss seeing all of those hott chicks in spandex. I am happy with my job though!

Based on the description I thought it would be a great app.

Turns out it's just a bunch of meatheads bragging about how drunk they got, or how they "totally fingered Amanda from down the hall."

I deleted it.

what is so bad about reading them near a community college is so many people just complaining about how much they hate the school and being there. They need a wake up call... It is not High school. They do not have to be there. They are just wasting their money if they don't give a shit. This is the one time I want to use the term "smh"

In the Sheffield Yik Yak the top comment is 'Sheffield Yik Yak is crap' and the second is 'Kazuo Ishiguro talks....... and talks.........'. Ishiguro, author of never let me go (a superb book), was speaking on wednesday, and it's still at the top.


I like the concept and I want it to take off, but atm it's really bad here.

It uses your location but there are specific ones for universities which are really the only entertaining ones.

You can see posts anywhere within a 5 mile radius of where it was posted. You can peek and see what was posted at different schools, but you can't upvote or post or anything

My yaks were "I wish that my dog didn't use so much teeth while blowing me." and "I wish my dick was long enough to where I could fuck myself in the ass."

and then something about hoping texas will dye cos of ebola

I have an apartment near CCRI (a Rhode Island community college lol) and the Yaks are full of people who can't spell anything right and post about trying to find weed or the girl they saw and were too scared to talk to. It's pretty amusing.
