Yippy Releases Family Friendly Search for Nintendo WiiFORT MYERS, FL, Jul 28, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Yippy, Inc. (OTCBB: YIPI), www.yippy.com, the providers of the world's fastest, family friendly web browser and search engine, today announces the official release of "Yippy" branded search for Nintendo Wii(TM) available at Wii.yippy.com. The Yippy Wii search is optimized for use with Nintendo Wii game controls and features Yippy content blocking protocols. "Wii.Yippy.com has been carefully designed from the ground up to effectively browse and search web sites with the Nintendo Wii system," says Emily Parker, Vice President of Operations, Yippy Inc. "The content blocking programs are improved, and with the help of Vivisimo's stellar team, Yippy Wii search provides fast and accurate search functionality. Once you've entered your search terms, click 'OK' from the full-screen Wii keyboard and Yippy will process your query immediately without needing an additional click on the 'Search' button. Yippy Wii search allows users to point and click with confidence." "Wii.yippy.com search also works great for people who wear bifocals or who are visually impaired," continues Parker. "The jumbo sized results accessed from on any modern browser makes accessing wii.yippy.com easier on your eyes with less headaches from straining to read results than you'd likely experience from the other search engines." "To change the balance of power of the Internet, you must win the trust of the American family first," said Richard Granville, CEO, Yippy Inc. "We are grooming Yippy to become the standout brand of the future for high tech families. Games consoles and a flotilla of mobile devices will soon be Yippy-enabled devices." "The Yippy Wii search and the soon-to-be released YIPPY Wii browser with cloud based content management platforms will win the hearts of families and play a starring role on big screen TVs," adds Granville. "Screens translate into revenue and with over 70 million Wii's worldwide and nearly half of those sold in the US, we see the Wii as another excellent revenue generator moving forward. The new Wii.yippy.com search is fully monetized and available today for your family's enjoyment." Yippy incorporates search and browsing content-blocking solutions that provide its users, including parents and schools, with the safest alternative for online activities. Designed for all web users from age eight and above; Yippy, ranked a leading search engine of 2010 by Paul H. Gil, the About.com Guide to Internet for Beginners, is currently utilized as the primary default browser and search engine in many public libraries, academies, schools, universities and places of worship throughout the US and Canada. "Yippy combines contextual information in a cloud service that tailors Internet content to the preferences and needs of each user," reported Alex Winogradoff, Vice President of Technology, for leading analyst firm, Gartner, in a report on "Cool Vendors" issued earlier this year. Winogradoff added that, "Yippy is designed to be an online media store with one-touch access to television, games, news, movies, social networking, streaming radio, shopping and eventually office applications. While it vastly simplifies the Web surfing experience of the average consumer, its user interface is also built to be usable by pre-teen children. Yippy is unabashedly focused on providing a worry-free family Web experience based on a combination of parental proxy controls for approved content, trusted content partners and strict enforcement of a government-registered restriction list." "PC vendors should be concerned about future commoditization of the PC as a result of cloud services, such as Yippy, that decrease the need for compute capability on the client," said Winogradoff. "Device manufacturers looking for service-bundling opportunities should also care, as should families that want to shield their children from adult Web content, advertising firms and local businesses, game developers and local media/entertainment providers." Yippy Inc. has established a new toll-free number for customer service and company inquiries which is 1-877-YIPPY01. About Yippy, Inc.
