3．An app that does nothing but send a simple notification（提醒） of"Yo"to recipients is the most popular app right now in the US．
The app，named Yo，reached No.1on the Apple App Store in the US last week，after The Financial Times broke the story on June 18that the app has received﹩1 million （6.23 million yuan）in investment funding．
Created in just eight hours by Arbel，a 32-year-old app development 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．
Arbel said about his app in an interview with The New Yorker that，"It's a whole new way of communication．A hundred and forty characters is way too much these day…It's lightweight，easy，you don't have to open a message-the notification itself is everything you need．"
When Yo was launched on April Fools'Day this year，the Apple App Store at first rejected on the grounds that it lacked substance．Many people still see the app as a joke．
Arbel calls Yo"context-based（基于语境的） communication"and some people are beginning to"get it"．Jordan Crook，from Tech Crunch，explains why the context of a"Yo"says much more than two little letters：As with anything，a"Yo"can just be a"Yo"．But you'll feel a very real difference between a"Yo"get in the morning from a friend and a"Yo"you get in the evening from a board friend．Trust me．And that's the magic．
But people don't always want to load their"Yos"with meaning．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 it's a great way of saying："I'm thinking about you but I don't have anything in particular to say．"Social media constantly demands our time and attention．Not responding to text message and e-mail can hurt relationships．But，Shapiro says a"Yo"doesn't seem to demand a reply，"What a relief，"he says．
