	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slashdotdash.net/articles/2008/01/21/london-this-week-rails-free-pizza-beer-and-cominded-de-stealth"&gt;Thursday was the launch party&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;a href="http://www.cominded.com/"&gt;Cominded&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; latest social application &lt;a href="http://www.yabb.com"&gt;yabb&lt;/a&gt;. It&amp;#8217;s currently still in private beta, although everyone who attended the event had the opportunity to register on the night and should have received an invitation the following day.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://paulfwalsh.com/"&gt;Paul Walsh&lt;/a&gt; was first off the mark to &lt;a href="http://paulfwalsh.com/bebo-co-founder-paul-birch-strikes-again/"&gt;blog about yabb&lt;/a&gt; and followed up with an &lt;a href="http://paulfwalsh.com/interview-with-paul-birch-about-yabb/"&gt;interview with Paul Birch&lt;/a&gt;. On Friday, &lt;a href="http://uk.techcrunch.com/2008/01/25/yabb-launches-voip-micro-blogging-service/"&gt;Techcrunch UK&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/01/25/from-across-the-pond-yabb-a-seesmic-for-voipmails/"&gt;followed by US&lt;/a&gt;) wrote about the launch of yabb and there were &lt;a href="http://voicesage.blogspot.com/2008/01/enabling-online-interactions-yabb.html"&gt;further&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://thayer18.livejournal.com/6902.html"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; reactions. &lt;a href="http://www.olibarrett.co.uk/"&gt;Oli Barrett&lt;/a&gt; at the &lt;a href="http://www.dailynetworker.co.uk/"&gt;Daily Networker&lt;/a&gt; wrote a great article about yabb titled &amp;#8216;&lt;a href="http://www.dailynetworker.co.uk/2008/01/26/a-little-more-conversation/"&gt;A Little More Conversation&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;h2&gt;yabb lets you talk more and type less by connecting you with people and topics you&#8217;re interested in&lt;/h2&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;For those who haven&amp;#8217;t yet joined yabb (with a lowercase y), it&amp;#8217;s a social network that facilitate one-to-one conversations between like-minded people using Skype. With yabb we&amp;#8217;re promoting the art of conversation; you find a topic you&amp;#8217;re interested in, choose who you want to talk to and invite them to contact you using a call request.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Why not head along to &lt;a href="http://yabb.com/account/register_beta_interest"&gt;register&lt;/a&gt; and keep up to date via the &lt;a href="http://blog.yabb.com/"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt;. If you&amp;#8217;re already signed-up and using yabb then we&amp;#8217;re very interested in &lt;a href="http://yabb.com/info/contact"&gt;getting your feedback&lt;/a&gt; and any &lt;a href="http://yabb.com/conversations/41-new_features_for_yabb"&gt;ideas for new features&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
