Yappd Launches Developer API and Web Photo Uploads

Yappd, the service that is similar to Twitter, is announcing new service functionality. First up is the initial launch of their Developer API. Basically any feature/function available in Yappd is available in their API. They are in the process of setting up a developer community for discussion and bug fixes.

Their second product announcement is around their area of product differentiation. They have added a Web photo upload feature. Previously you could only upload a photo by SMS. From what I can tell the feature works pretty well.

You can add me as a friend on Yappd and check out our interview with Yappd Co-Founder, Brendan Lim. The key for Yappd is to keep pushing on differentiation features in the service so they can spread the distance between their product and Twitter.
