Yappa World Inc. Announces Comment Tool Integrations with American Media, LLC Brands Star and Life and Style

Yappa, the New Audio and Video Commenting Tool, is Every Publisher’s Solution for Anonymous Online Trolls Who Spread Hate

Yappa World Inc. is proud to announce that American Media, LLC, the leading publisher of celebrity and entertainment journalism in the United States, has installed the Yappa tool onto two of their celebrity news websites, Star Magazine Online and Life & Style Online.

Yappa is the first tool to revolutionize comments on websites by allowing users to leave “yaps,” expressive audio and video comments, instead of boring text comments. Since users are required to use their own voice and image, Yappa also helps publishers clean up the hate spam often left on comments by trolls who hide behind fake avatars and text.

Yappa automatically transcribes yaps through its patented technology and can deliver key analytics to publishers. Users can also be flagged for alleged profanity, pornography, bullying and hate speech by admins and other users.
