- Product Description
- YackPack is an Internet service that helps group members communicate with each other. YackPack captures and conveys the expressiveness of human speech, which leads to stronger relationships and more unified families, support groups and project teams. We customize the YackPack platform for corporate and consumer groups, integrating our patent-pending product into their Web sites.
- Market Opportunity
- To be happy and healthy, people must affiliate in groups and develop close personal relationships. This is true for all cultures. However, extensive use of email can weaken those relationships that matter most. In contrast, YackPack helps people do the five things that increase group unity and strengthen interpersonal bonds.
- DEMO Says
- I had an immediate, emotional connection to YackPack. It is a simple, elegant messaging tool that demonstrates the power of voice communication delivered in a lightweight environment that is simple to use. This application will bring communities, families and friends together in ways that e-mail and IM can’t.
