I was\u00a0discussing with my son and his pre-teen friends their use of social media. I asked them if they use Facebook – with a slight snicker from the group, the general response was “Facebook is for parents!”\u00a0<\/em>Instagram<\/a> is good, but Snapchat<\/a> is way ‘cooler.’ Musical.ly<\/a> is\u00a0all the rage. And one app I have not yet heard of called\u00a0Yubl with the tagline – the new era of social messaging<\/a>\u00a0is the newest hot thing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since social media is what we do around here – of course, I was intrigued!<\/p>\n

Yubl could be the right product at the right time to take on Facebook by offering a fresh alternative. Yubl intends to be the destination for millennials who are defecting from “parent saturated” Facebook.<\/p>\n

Consider these statistics:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Between 2011 and 2014<\/a>, over six million 13 – 24 year-olds left\u00a0Facebook<\/strong>. (Of that, just over half are in the 17-24 range.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • In a short period, Yubl has become the 4th ranked highest social networking app in the App Store<\/strong> – ahead of Skype and Pinterest. This rapid growth\u00a0shows\u00a0tremendous progress and potential\u00a0for the newly released app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      It looks like it’s time to dig deeper into what is making Yubl so attractive\u00a0to teens.<\/p>\n

      <\/span>What is Yubl?<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Yubl (pronounced Yubble) is a mobile-first social message app. If Instagram<\/a> and Facebook Messenger<\/a> had a child, it would be Yubl.<\/strong> Yubl’s\u00a0mission is to become the \u201cnext-generation social networking and messaging platform.\u201d<\/p>\n
