PcMag: Yahoo on Tuesday acquired Koprol.com, an mobile social network based in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Koprol allows users to connect and share photos, reviews, and other location-related information from their mobile browsers, Yahoo said. Like Foursquare, Koprol has a "check-in" component that lets people share their location with friends. It also has a Yelp-esque "thumbs-up" ratings feature that lets users vote up certain shops or restaurants, and start discussions about particular locations.

Only stupid people buy phones on plans anyway, so this is right up their alley.
Buy CLEAN phone crapware-free for $500 now, or pay $3,000 for crapware-filled phone over 2 years...
Hmm hard decisions...
