Users' Privacy a Priority on ECDC's Vir2o Social Media Network

Interactive Network Makes Members' Privacy the Default Setting


ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Aug 26, 2013) - Privacy will always be in the users' hands on the new social media platform, Vir2o (http://www.vir2o.com/), according to executives with its parent company, East Coast Diversified Corporation (OTCQB: ECDC). Thanks in part to the network's proprietary nVite software, Vir2o members will always be in control of whom they interact with -- whether it be while sharing photos, watching streaming movies together or online shopping with each other in real time.

Vir2o's nVite technology helps users remain in control of their privacy, only sharing what they want to share, and always deciding on which social circles see what content. While most social media networks default to sharing content with everyone, each posting or activity on Vir2o allows the user to assign an access level: public, private or "Invitation Only." Having access to a user's timeline, profile wall or online postings does not automatically grant access to that user's private rooms. And, even when granted access to private rooms, users can still keep content private within that room.

"Unlike other existing social networks that always seem to be aggravating members over constantly changing privacy settings, one of Vir2o's core promises is to always keep the user experience forefront," said Kayode Aladesuyi, chairman and chief executive officer of East Coast Diversified Corp. "On Vir2o, you'll never need to worry about your aunt, boss or prospective employer seeing your pictures better suited for just your friends."
