Yik Yak is a social media application that was developed by Tyler Droll and Brooks Buffington, both of whom graduated from Furman University. Yik Yak works off anonymous submissions from people within a certain proximity. The main page consists of a refreshable feed of posts users have made, and the application prefers to call these posts "yaks". As a user you are allowed to upvote, downvote, and comment on these yaks[1].
