Stealth Israeli Startup Yedda Launches

- ajcannon, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5After looking over this service some more I thinik that this has even more potential than I originally thought. This will definitely go into my favorites and I'll visit here often.
- ajcannon, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Oh yeah, a direct link to the site itself (though it is useful to read the techcrunch article for some insight) is http://yedda.com/
- ZeitMachina, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9http://ask.metafilter.com/
Infinitely superior. The regisration fee / barrier to entry keeps the signal:noise ratio cleaner. - holotone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Meh... Sort of like Grupthink, only bland...

Similiar US-based site in public alpha. Has neat blog-creation/integration features and several Web 2.0 tricks hidden up its sleeve for Beta upgrade expected shortly.
- xpanic, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Works excellent. Very well organized.
- roynaaa, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3cool stuff, I love the way my icon appears on every question and my tag line too
- yanivg, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5thanks for the comments folks, we're looking forward to seeing you at Yedda :). And while there, don't miss that Feedback link - we'd love to hear what you think!
- lamedsamekh, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4I'm not too keen on the looks of the site, but I think it has potential. Time will tell. Good luck anyway.
- yanivg, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4lamedsamekh, what would you change in the looks of the site?
- troydoogle7, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5yanivg... great work. I really like what you have done. I think that clearer privacy statement would not go amiss!
Best of luck guys!- yanivg2, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1thanks :)
what are the details you're missing in the privacy statement? - MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Yea, I think it's a great site. Good luck and may the people sign up! :)
- yanivg2, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1thanks :)
- MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3This looks great. Hope it will be good! :)
- MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3What's wrong with my comment? :(
- yakito, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I don't know... whats new or better with Yedda that we haven't seen?
- tactless, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Here's why I'm loving it: Apple's Israeli importers are real sons of bitches. Extraordinarily high prices, crap service. Guess what their name is?
http://yeda.co.il
That's right. Same word in Hebrew ('knowledge'). One D less. - yarsrevenge, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1saf
- yarsrevenge, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1doh, can't burry you own comment
- yarsrevenge, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1First read it as Yodda and thought they were just one D off of the great jedi master.
- f00xx0riz3r, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5Yeah, but as long as the israeli are bombing children we wont use it, right?
- Rizmaster, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Not much. It's well designed, but very meh.
- 42kami, on 10/12/2007, -15/+6"Yedda, how many Palestinians does it take to screw in a light bulb?"
"Answer: There won't be any Palestinians left after we're done."
Yedda: Web 2.0 powered by genocide.
No digg.- corrosive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7How many comments untill someone posted an anti-semetic reference?
15 till I got here. - ZeitMachina, on 10/12/2007, -7/+8anti-zionist != anti-semetic. Attention-whoring, race-card playing crap is not welcome here.
- PauPer, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4how can we trust zionists to be unbiased ?
especially since they continue killing Arab Semites,
while calling anyone with a differing view "anti-Semitic"
Arabs are Semites too.
... I'm stickin' w/ google answers
- corrosive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7How many comments untill someone posted an anti-semetic reference?
- wuxia, on 10/12/2007, -17/+4Why bother signing up when Israeli's already know everything else about you from spying. They get a 'lame' vote and no digg.
"When Israel is gone the world will rejoice"- MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Just shut up. Keep that ***** off digg ok?
- jellygraph, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2hm, ive got wikipedia already, no thanks
- ujangdigg, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4The very very 1st question...
Q:how to spell P.E.A.C.E
A:κ ë ë ¬- troydoogle7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think you should learn to spell.... heres a lesson when people ask you to spell your name... Spell it as R-A-C-I-S-T D-I-C-K-H-E-A-D
- tzafrir, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I tried it, already answered a couple questions, and this service seems very nice.
It keeps you in the loop by e-mail, but not too much, so it's not annoying.
Also a good techcrunch article, so this is a digg. - yanivg2, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0tzafrir, glad to hear you like it! Cool answers (http://yedda.com/people/9516462118541/answers) too :)
- opie_wan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Better question to ask, if all the other services are free, why isn't google answers free?...
- KnowBrainers, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Similiar US-based site in public alpha has many of the same capabilities and will soon release beta with upgraded web 2.0 interface and several level-setting features:
http://www.www.KnowBrainers.com
or
How does KnowBrainers compare to Yedda?
(http://www.knowbrainers.com/question.php?q=7415)
If you'll pardon the crude interface, you'll find some very interesting hidden features. Stay tuned for the big Beta launch....- MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hum.
- wuxia, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3As I have said before, do not trust Israel with anything, especially your private info.
"2006 South Lebanese War Games"
Lebanon 1 -- Israel 0- MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Back off.
- qweewq11, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Please STFU. You're just jealous that the Israelis build great companies, win Nobels, and still have time to kick the crap out of Hezbollah, whereas Muslim countries have never built anything other than bombs.
- ujangdigg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1ahh.. hijack other people country at a glance.
- wuxia, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1qweewq11:
Actually you are most welcome to follow your own advise and ST*U. The bottom line is that Israelis cant be trusted. They have lied to our faces and spied on Americans and justice will be served soon.
http://www.jewwatch.com/jew-criminalsandspies-folder.html - troydoogle7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You are all just racists, you have no place on Digg. spouting racist stuff like doesn't make anyone look bad but yourselves. Personally I think you should all go up and finish your homework, lets leave digg to the adults.
