Indonesia’s first location-based social networking site Yahoo! Koprol on Monday announced its integration with the latest version of Blackberry Messenger 6 (BBM6), enhancing users’ mobile social experience.

The integration will enable users to leverage the latest features of both Koprol and BBM6 and have a seamless experience across both platforms.

“BBM6 integration was the right strategy for Yahoo!. Now, Indonesians can have a great social experience across multiple platforms and enjoy the flexibility of connecting with their contacts via one of the largest mobile social networks,” Yahoo! Indonesia country manager Pontus Sonnerstedt said Monday in a press statement received by The Jakarta Post.

Yahoo! Koprol co-founder Satya Witoelar added that Yahoo! Koprol was part of the user experience in finding friends in real life.

“The availability of Yahoo! Koprol on BBM6 enables easy check-ins, and allows users to find other Koprollers profile information, consolidate content on popular topics and local social events and even
rewards users for being social,” Satya said.

One of the features of the integration is the chatting functionality, in which users can chat in real-time with other Koprol users via a BBM6 API by simply downloading the latest version of Koprol.

Within the Koprol Blackberry interface, users will also be able to view and follow other users who are nearby and instantly initiate a chat with them without needing a Blackberry PIN. (swd)
