Yarnable... Yarnable.... Yarnable... The hype kept on moving both online and offline, but for a month we restricted access to invitation from selected web sites.. That was pretty mean, but it was for the good.

During the private beta, we identified so many bugs on the platform which kept us debugging for month. Thus, the private session ease our stress towards ensuring the platform works perfectly and effectively. This is because, the platform is being built from scratch.

Last Saturday, Ahmad Mukoshy was in Lagos (Nigeria) to release yarnable.com to the general public at  BarCamp Nigeria 2010 event which held in University of Lagos at CITS Building. The event was successful and yarnable was opened to the general public on that day.

Part of the key notes of @mukoshy's speech include:

1. Yarnable is here to stay, with innovative ideas to follow its development over time.
2. Yarnable will link you to major social sites, auto connecting your activities in real time.
3. Mobile communication will be added to yarnable to make on the go yarning interesting and catchy.
4. An intelligent command-line system will be developed to easy interaction with the yarnable platform.
5. Yarnable will also build an advance search technology which will pull information (when need) related to your yarns from across the web.

More features were also highlighted at the event, such as ability for users to subscribe to yarnable upcoming channels and much more.

During the event, yarnable users were following the trending keyword yarn #bcnigeria aside twitter. The keyword was the official tag for the event chosen by the BarCamp officials to tag discussions about the event on social sites, more especially Twitter.

Though yarnable is still running on a core php-apache technology, in time we will improve both programming technologies and probably even jump to a framework to easy the development sessions.

During the public beta release of yarnable in Lagos, we also launched a basic search to the platform which will also be improved in no time.

Users also reach their profiles from the yarnable pretty url syntax. (http://yarnable.com/username) eg. http://yarnable.com/mukoshy
