About the Yub.com Name
"Yub" is buy spelled backwards, an apt name since we’re turning buying inside out by facilitating sharing product advice with real people through real relationships. Instead of buying what the stores tell you to buy, and then becoming a consumer, we flip it, allowing you to hear what the consumers say before you buy. Yub is also an acronym for our core user--the Young Urban Buyer.

How do you pronounce it?
   We pronounce it "Yuhb." It rhymes with rub.

Can you use it in a sentence?

   Yup - here are some examples:

  • "I just uploaded like 240 pics from last night, check out my Yub!"
  • "I went to Yub today and read through the recent chit-chat on my raves."
   It can even be used as a verb:
  • "Don't bother emailing me - Yub me."
  • Shh... I'm Yubbing.
What about the derivatives: I'm Yubbing It, I Yub You, Yubby.?

   Ah, the joys of Yub vernacular, we've heard the below usages:
  • I'm Yubbing it - surfing Yub.com.
  • I Yub You - browsing someone's Yub profile / developing a crush on him/her.
  • Yubby - a Yub friend.
How did you come up with it?

   Team stream of consciousness then led Eoin discovering Yub.

What do Yub members call each other?

   Yubbers. What did one yubber say to the other yubber about the grab bag feature? I yub it.
