About Yasni

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!

What do I have to do to be shown on the Yasni frontpage with my Exposé?

Our users frequently ask us what it is all about the Top Persons on our frontpage and, in particular, what has to be done in order to be shown with your Exposé on the Yasni frontpage. For this reason, this blog post is meant to explain in detail which steps are required to introduce and represent yourself to our over 20 million users per month.

At first here is a screenshot that shows, who or what is meant with the term “Top Person”:

We talk about the people, who are displayed by turns in the right-hand sided box on our frontpage. These people have the possibility to represent themselves with a short slogan as well as their company and location in addition to their Exposé picture. Additionally, you will find the link “All Top Persons” on our frontpage where you can click through all Top Persons on Yasni in a new opening window.

If you click on the picture and on the name respectively, you will automatically be transferred to the respective Exposé. There, you see all information that person wants to show in form of links, pictures, comments and others. You are also able to get in contact with the Exposé owner. Top Persons show with their presentation that they are interested in new contacts – you can even add yourself as a new contact without the confirmation process. read more »

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.”
