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.

non-partisan user-generated political App called VOYCIT will also
soon be launched. In December 2014
MOKO will also launch a specialist running community app called
RunHaven. RunHaven.com is for US recreational runners with event,
training, dietary and other runner-relevant information. MOKO will
launch Speakiesy in December 2014.
Speakiesy will be a new college social media App exclusive to each
campus.
