The app，named Yo，reached No.1 in the Apple App Store in the US last week，after The Financial Times broke the story on June 18 that the app has received $1 million(6.23 million yuan)in investment funding. Created in just eight hours by Or Arbel，a 32yearold app developer from Tel Aviv，Israel，Yo claims to be the“simplest and most efficient communication tool in the world”．With a single tap，users can send the word“Yo”to one another in a voice notification—and nothing else. Yo was launched on April Fools Day this year but many people still see the app as a joke now，including some technology experts，like Polly Mosendz from The Wire and Judd Legum from Think Progress. David Shapiro，from The New Yorker，says now when he thinks about someone，he just“Yos”them instead of spending time starting and carrying on a conversation.He says its a great way of saying：“Im thinking about you but I dont have anything in particular to say.”Social media constantly demands our time and attention.Not replying to text messages and emails can hurt relationships.But，Shapiro says，a “Yo” doesnt seem to demand a reply.“What a relief，”he says.
