Koprol to return “shortly” with business features

Tonight marks the third time Koprol is being taken down for an extended period in one month to install new features which apparently require the site to be deactivated. Barely one week ago we noted that the Yahoo service had added Bump to allow posts to be promoted by its readers. It’s not without its problems however.

The most significant issue with Bump is that if multiple people on your timeline were to bump the same post, it would appear multiple times on your screen, you’ll be seeing the same post being duplicated on your timeline. While the intention is to mimic Twitter’s retweet behavior, it hasn’t managed to suppress multiple bumps.

While it is hoped that this issue is what the team is working to remedy, it seems that they have something else in mind. Koprol’s Twitter account announced that the upgrades will be something related to business. It is also taking its cue from Tumblr in defining “shortly” as being a period of around several hours.

What Koprol will unveil is yet unknown, everyone will have to wait until it’s back up in the morning. Let the five hour speculation begin.
