ILLUSTRATION BY TONY RAGLE/THE DAILY
TAKE YIK YAK HOME APP OFFERS NEW BASE CAMP FEATURE IN TIME FOR SUMMER BREAK
TYLER HALL | @TYYLERSH
Y
ik Yak, the anonymous smartphone application made primarily for college students, has added a new feature just in time for summer break. The feature will allow people to participate in OU’s Yik Yak community no matter where they travel. The feature, called “Basecamp,” is a trial feature that was launched following popular demand by Yik Yak users who are leaving for summer vacation. Many students seem pleased with Yik Yak’s innovation and even more with the fact that they will not have to endure a summer of boring yaks. “The app gives you something entertaining to do in your spare time,” OU sophomore Nate Fain said. “But when I go home, I miss being able to interact with those from the university.” Some students look forward to using the new feature during weekend trips home. “Where I’m from, the most recent post is sometimes a week old,” sophomore Shea Smith said. “This will at least give me something to look at other than Twitter that has sort of a live feed format, and I can see yaks that aren’t weeks old.” To set up Basecamp, click on ‘Set Your Basecamp’ from the main page and then select a location. However, Yik Yak warns that basecamp can only be set once and that users should choose wisely when selecting the group they want to remain linked with.
