The most popular post of all time on Yik Yak is a dirty joke. Less than 2 years old, the Atlanta-based social network is geared mostly toward college students who access and post unsigned announcements through an app on their smartphones. At best it's a local forum for public conversations that might otherwise only occur in private. At worst it's a platform for immaturity, racism and cyber-bullying.
