Yippy applies for OTC listing

FORT MYERS — Technology company Yippy Inc. has filed to have its shares traded on OTCQX, an over-the-counter stock market.

Yippy provides search engines and Web portals for family-friendly websites that filter out indecent material or content that is not appropriate for children.

The company's stock currently trades on the Pink Sheet system, another over-the-counter market. However, Yippy CEO Rich Granville says OTCQX has stricter standards of reporting and its listings are less speculative than the Pink Sheet system.
