YawpBox was an online community. It claimed to have been the first social networking site to be founded in Texas, and to converge Internet, television and radio, into one Internet application. The site, launched on December 20, 2007 by Baylor University alumni The site was designed by its owners Anthony Bruster and Jay Powers for users to upload video files, journals, or photos based on a number of available topics. Users could leave comments for other users, rank stories, and submit topics to be added to the site. Submitted videos were selected by Bruster and Powers for the YawpBox TV show (in development), hosted by DJs Lex & Terry.
The sites tied journals, videos, and photos to their submitter's user profile, aiming to allow users to collaboratively share their life experiences.
