Thousands of ideas spring up everyday but only just a few put down these ideas in writing and implement them. Now this ' implemented idea' is going to shock you! A major competitor has finally emerged for facebook! Yes you heard that right. An Atlanta based company, East Coast Diversified Corps has launched its unique social media platform Vir2o; this platform comes with unique features perfectly integrated into it to give the user a completely new social media experience while interacting in real time with friends and loved ones. The intent of the Vir2o is to be the “local pub and community center” of the Internet. The startup is backed by $1 million in seed financing.

The Vir2o site integrates various components from other social media networks to create a broader platform with more capabilities. Users can share pictures, listen to music, play games, post and watch videos, and shop in private “rooms.” Using the “nVite” feature, people can invite groups of friends to join them in these rooms and all their voice, audio, and screen views are synchronized. Vir2o seeks to take the offline experience of hanging out and put it online. Founder Kayode Aladesuyi said its like a more advanced version of Google +.
“Vir2o is disruptive to the current state of social media, taking the concept of socialization beyond the community poster board to enhancing relationships on the Web,” said Aladesuyi to VentureBeat. “Interactive user engagement is what’s new, different and innovative. It is not screen-sharing, it is session-sharing. Social media in its current state, while it serves desired business purposes, may in the long run become a platform where people are further separated and alienated rather than harmonizing relationships regardless of place or distance.”
Social media has ingrained itself deeply into every aspect of our lives. Yet despite the proliferation of communication methods, people still question whether this technology actually strengthens relationships, or whether it supports quantity over quality of social interactions. This is a hot button issue and a significant amount has been published over the past few years on the topics of loneliness, American alienation, and the dissolution of the American community, such as Loneliness, Bowling Alone, Alone Together, and The Pursuit of Loneliness.
For many users, Facebook is no longer about your close circle of friends. Its where you reconnect with a classmate from high school or share pictures of your weekend with the world. Alternative social networks like Path try to create a more intimate experience, but Path has struggled to find a viable monetization scheme and also with user fatigue — many people are already overwhelmed with social media and don’t want to add more networks into the equation. Vir2o will face these issues as well.
Vir2o has adopted a mixed revenue business model based on advertising and revenue share with content providers and retailers. There are campaigns and sponsored and banner ads in all the “rooms.” In the “music room”, Vir2o also makes money by taking a commission on any albums or songs that are purchased through its VMaestro service. In the “movie room,” it earns revenue on a pay per view basis for broadcasted content like live concerts and sporting matches, as well as fees from movie subscriptions and rentals. Vir2o also has a marketplace where it makes a commission on all products sold on the site by third party retailers.
Vir2o attracted approximately 20,000 beta users and is targeted people in emerging markets with a focus on BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China). The company was founded in 2012 and operates under parent company East Coast Diversified Corp. It has 17 employees and is based in Atlanta, Georgia.

thanks o!!!!!!!!!!

i feel like eating tortoise head and fish leg with kunu stepped down with kain kain



really!!!! on a more serious note, i feel i like eating this!!!!

well, the reason we were banned was because, it became an addiction for almost all our staff. Every spare time we have, we browse nairaland and as such a little excitement here and there provoked my boss to inquire about the site.

these were is exact word;

MD : what is nairaland all about? Can our company make money from it?

A lousy eye service staff said : sir, they are doing yahoo yahoo there and they engage in blind dates.

MD : you people are so jobless that you use official hours for nonsense,
Hassan!!!!!!!!!!! block the site, i dont want anyone to browse that site,

well, it was blocked and we just couldnt browse but just recently i learnt a way of still getting to nairaland wether it is blocked or not,

can you remember the thread " Nigerians in the Uk are stingy" well elgaxton is my colleague.

what about "can you marry a guy that is ten yrs older than you? well ngojoygurl is a colleague as well

Or " majority of the yoruba guys are lousy" well me,  was trying to cos a heated arguement.


so that is the 411 of why we were banned,  the truth about it is that it didnt affect our official work, we still brought fruitful results, i guess the MD had a change of mind.

thanks Matured for responding, you re so nice, anyway the best is yet to come form me

thanks alot matured, at least for being friendly enough to respond, the best is yet to come from me,

do the best you can guys!!!!

some nigerians that stay there are really stingy, the can almost calculate every air they breathe cos it cost money too, but that is too much, they re not stingy for themselves but stingy to others. how can they expect to get extraordinary breakthroughs if they cant give, we are not saying they should spend foolishly but be a little bit generous,
I remember a cousin of mine who went to the UK for hols for like 2wks, he had to stay with a friend, the first two days was glorious, nice! everything went well, but the truth about it was that after 2 days, things started changing, he had to share the bills with his friend, light bills, water, and so on
i mean! it is understandable that he could atleast assist with feeding but must he impose the other bills on his friend, i mean, he is a guest, he wasnt planning on staying for life, he should have allowed my cousin use his discretion to assist with the bills not imposing it on him, When he told me this, i wasnt impressed at all, i tot it was just his friend that has a problem but i have heard similar attitudes by some nigerians that live in the UK,
Its either them or the society they live in

no response yet,

na wa o!!!! i don comot for nairaland for almost 5 months and then still dey hammer demself for this thread, things dey happen for here o
