@orarbel just released the Yo Button, a widget you can embed on your site. It looks like this:
Once the user clicks the button, it displays the username to "yo" to get a "yo" when that event occurs.
I just created one here. When a product reaches 50 upvotes on Product Hunt, you'll get a "yo."
Or - want to jump in w/ more details, yo?
Here's the original Yo thread.
The idea of notifications that you can sign up for without downloading another app is incredibly powerful. You could sprinkle these buttons within Tweets and Facebook posts.
Most interestingly, I think a Yo subscription humanizes the service. It almost feels like ProductHunt, your friend, is calling out "Yo!" to you as a person.
@abe_storey to be honest, we actually didn't automate this but instead it requires me to manually "yo". Unfortunately I have no idea how many people are "following" Product Hunt. Curious to see where Or takes this though, yo.
