- Part 16

Login Reloaded for your Yasni Exposé

Our regular users might have already noticed that there have been new changes on Yasni in the last few days. This time, it is nothing out of our big bag of tricks, but definitely something that belongs to the category “useful feature”.

We talk about the log-in process to the Exposé. The Log in button is still on the navigation bar on the top right of our site. The changes include both the design as well as the functionality. This is how it looks like if you click on the Log in button now:

The useful part is that your browser from now on remembers your login data so that you don’t have to type in your data every time you visit Yasni.

Does this sound good? It saves time so that you even got more time left to search for people and experience Exposés!

Yasni reaches profit zone

People Search Engine Yasni stays on the road to success: a 7-digit gross profit, break even and 17 million unique users per month comprise its balance sheet 2010.

German startups are blamed for being uninspired copies of successful Web services from the US. Consequently, only few German Internet companies are of international relevance. However, Yasni is worldwide the only real search engine to find experts for keywords like skills or city and already half of its users are from abroad. International usage even increased tenfold in 2010. Notably is the high percentage of users from the US, Canada or Australia, but also from India, France and Japan.

The recently launched domains for France (www.yasni.fr), Spain (www.yasni.es) and Italy (www.yasni.it) ensure growth for 2011 and meet the international demand for real people search.

Yasni CEO Steffen Rühl: „I am pleased that despite high expenditures for our growth and the set-up of further languages and domains in the last year we have not only doubled turnover as in the years before, but for the first time achieved the break even with a seven-digit gross profit for the total year.”

Yasni expands to Spain

Last week you could hear shouting and cheering throughout our Yasni offices. After weeks of testing, translating, implementing sources, testing, translating and again testing the Spanish version of our website finally went online. We warmly welcome yasni.es to our Yasni family! After having launched our French version shortly we are happy to have a Spanish version too now…

From now on you can easily switch between the different Yasni domains DE, AT, CH, UK, COM, FR and ES by clicking on the flag symbols in the navigation top right.

As each domain uses different sources for the search results, results differ depending on the domain as well. A good example are the results for Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso:

Fernando Alonso on yasni.com

Fernando Alonso on yasni.es

Of course our users can choose Spanish as their Exposé language and for their e-mails as well. So, if an English spreaking user wants to improve his Spanish, no problem!

What else is there to say about Spain? The first thing that crosses my mind are the top formula 1 drivers Fernando Alonso and Rafael Nadal. And the the winning of the FIFA World Cup…and what else? Good weather. Majorca. Tapas. Bullfighting. Here are some more hard facts about Spain:

Capital: Madrid

Gouvernement: Parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy

King: Juan Carlos I.

Prime Minister: José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero

Population: approx. 47 million

Yasni users: we are excited to find out…
