Vir2o (http://www.vir2o.com/), a new social media platform by East Coast Diversified Corporation (OTCQB: ECDC), was launched today after completing a public beta period of testing. The platform, with nearly 20,000 members, is designed to provide Internet users -- and especially those in emerging markets such as Africa, Brazil and India -- with one interactive site that combines social networking, video entertainment, gaming, shopping and more.

"Vir2o seamlessly merges the best elements of Facebook, YouTube and Amazon," said Kayode Aladesuyi, chairman and chief executive officer of East Coast Diversified Corp. "In addition, everything on Vir2o is opt-in, meaning our members are always in complete control of what content they want to share with friends and family, be it a movie or an online shopping trip."

ECDC's proprietary nVite technology lets Vir2o members engage with one another by shopping or watching movies together, sharing photos in real-time and more, erasing the passivity normally associated with online social networks.

In addition, Vir2o's commercial pages give business owners the ability to offer visual showrooms, streaming video presentations and engage with their customers in real time.

The Vir2o network has been in beta testing since early April 2013.
