MOKO Social Media To Launch New College App Speakiesy
NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MOKO Social Media Limited (NASDAQ GM: MOKO; ASX: MKB), a provider of highly tailored mobile social community platforms for organized groups, announced today the planned December 2014 launch of "Speakiesy," a new mobile application for college students in the US. MOKO identified college students' desire for a dedicated and closed network social app available only to students on their specific campus and is separate from Facebook.
Speakiesy will combine features and functionality similar to platforms like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook and will only be accessible with a university-specific .edu email address.
"Through research and student feedback that we conducted for our previously launched sports app called REC*IT, we found that college students want a private platform to discuss activities and news in and around campus," said Ian Rodwell, CEO of MOKO Social Media. "Speakiesy will provide students with a hybrid news-feed, photo sharing and short-form blog posting service."
The mobile app will roll out to over 850 college campuses across the US in the upcoming year. While MOKO technicians are in the development stages of the app, the US team is working on the marketing plan for its 2014 rollout.
