New Social Networking Platform - www.iyaeko.com Launches

The year 2014 sure holds so much excitement for the computer and technology industry; such is the emergence of more sector focused social media networking sites. It is to this end that we are thrilled to announce the success of a new image sharing social networking websitewww.iyaeko.com. The site is aimed at promoting images that showcase the very best of world cultures/heritage through inspiring attires, fashion, make-up, events and designs.

The IyaEko platform which went public on the 20^th of December 2013, had within its first week, over 1,000 unique visitors and generated close to 8,000 page views with an average user spending almost 5minutes browsing through the 16,000+ images that have been uploaded to the site.

So many people are of the opinion that as much as clothing is a necessity, their clothes reflect their culture and beliefs. Iyaeko.com has been created at such a time as this, where Fashion designers, event managers and lovers of style seek out ways to inspire their creativity as well as celebrate the diversity in culture.

The website which features a strong social element prides itself as having the largest collection of culturally related fashion trends that have been carefully selected from [Facebook owned image sharing social network] Instagram.

Adetola Oredope, the founder of IyaEko, says that the new website is very much about bringing the world together under a culturally inspired platform. “Colours can be attractive and a blend of sweet colours with rich cultures can keep you happy for a long time”, he says. Part of the fun is where everyone becomes a photographer and a poser, churning out new photos that can also be shared from the website to other social networks.

There are plans in the offing to enable interactions amongst users, make purchase orders and a direct contact to fabric producers, event managers, fashion designers, jewellery makers, photographers, cosmetics sellers, etc. “Our current focus is to further improve the user experience on the site which will include releasing mobile apps alongside building a strong corporate team in a lean and agile manner” said Adetola.

There are a lot of social network sites, but IyaEko has come to boost style and promote culture. This creative platform has surely defined how technology is used to bridge the gap in diverse cultures using fashion trends.
