Yookos wants you

A new African social networking site, Yookos, aims to more than triple its user base to 20 million this year.

The social networking and micro-blogging site was officially launched in Lagos this month, and already boasts over six million active users.

It extends beyond socializing, and enables businesses to market their products and services too.

The site owners report that their early experience showed there had been a great need for an African social network that allows users to interact and share information that is relevant to them.
