Back in November we posted a 3 month road map that listed the features we wanted to add over the next 3 months. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to all the features on our last road map as we were in the middle of launching a few side projects and also working on Yazzem joining the Teens in Tech Networks. Now, we are back and ready to pick up where we left off. We have done some research and we have big plans for Yazzem over the next 3 months. After reviewing everything we have done over the past 9 months we have brought Yazzem many new features and will continue to do so. We have broken down the next 3 months goals for Yazzem and posted them below. We are going to try and come through on ALL of them this time.

• Customizable designs – We offer some great designs for users to choose from, however one can’t upload a custom background or change the colors. We are going to be adding customizable designs for all users.
• API – The Yazzem API is built around standard HTTP requests to post data.
• Report Spam button – If you are active on Yazzem and you notice at one time or another we may have some Spam. With our report spam button it will allow users to report spam to an Administrator to be looked at.
• Categories – Yazzem topics are all just thrown in one place and are not organized. With a goal to provide a service that allows you to get to your content faster and more simple, Geo-Location & Keyword Categories will allow you to get to what you want faster.
• Video Uploading on Status -  Allow users to be able to upload and attach videos to your status updates.
• Profile Privacy – A much requested feature was to allow users to have better profile and account privacy so we plan to work on this.
• Language Pack – At this point in time we aren’t sure if we will get to this as our platform isn’t at the stage to support the language pack but we are going to try and work it in.
• Yazzem to FaceBook- Many users have requested we try to integrate Yazzem into FaceBook. About 1 1/2 months ago we decided to make a FaceBook App but decided to wait for a update to the FaceBook developer platform. The time has come where we are going to integrate a lot of the features on Yazzem to work with a lot of the features on FaceBook.
• Yazzem to MySpace- Many users have also requested we integrate some of Yazzem’s features to work with MySpace. We are in the talks with MySpace to offer a 2 way status update similar to the way Twitter’s works. We will have more information on this later.
• iPhone App – A few months ago we posted that we have a iPhone App in the works. The iPhone app was about 90% done when we announced the API. We reevaluated what we want the iPhone app to do and we decided that we should wait until we finish the API and build the app to work with the API to provided a better user experiences.
• Palm App- After announcing our iPhone app we announced the Palm App. The Palm was just getting started when we announced the API and decided to wait for the API to build a better app for the users.

I would also like to take this time to welcome our newest member to the Yazzem team. Manmohanjit Singh who is a 15 year old developer. We contacted him around a month ago when we were looking to expand the Yazzem team and at the time was to busy to join the team. The other day contacted us asking if the position was still available and we just had to make room for such a great teen developer! Manmohanjit Singh will be working with Manu Gill &  Mohamed Elmejjati on 2 side projects that we will be launching around the end of the month or early next month.
Thanks,
Yazzem Team
