Through YapRooms, groups can share photos and videos, organize events through group calendars, and communicate privately.  Simple enough to span generations, YapRooms offer an uncluttered, secure, and easy-to-access place for the important groups in everyone's life.

"We found that many people were no longer actively using Facebook because of privacy concerns, or felt it was cluttered, confusing, and the interactions were no longer meaningful," stated Robert Kapela, Founder and President of YapTime.  "We started YapTime to address these concerns and provide a place where groups can communicate and not have to deal with pseudo-friend requests or worry about the privacy of who is seeing what."

YapTime Features:

• YapRooms allow groups of friends, families or teams to share, discuss, and organize photos and videos – all in one, easy-to-access location
• Using YapRoom calendars, it is easy for groups to plan and organize events such as reunions, trips, team schedules, birthday parties and more
• Setting up a YapRoom is simple, users select a room name and invite members from their online address book – no complicated privacy settings to figure out, no complex features to learn, no unnecessary "friend requests"
• Everything is private--photos, videos, conversations, calendars and comments can only be viewed by invited YapRoom members
• Using a YapRoom is so simple that everyone can use it – easy enough for grandparents, safe enough for kids
• Users can post to a YapRoom, or respond to posts and photos, using email or the Website.  

YapTime is a free service available at http://www.yaptime.com.  The service is ideal for friends, families, teams, and other social groups that want to share and communicate in a private online space.
