[Press Release]Â DENVER–Duby, a first-of-its-kind app that lets cannabis enthusiasts share content anonymously and influence others across the globe, launched today in the iTunes App Store. Users can “light up” a new Duby–in the form of a picture, video, or text–and then pass the message to fellow users.
“Cannabis is one of the top themes on social media, yet most social media outlets restrict marijuana-related posts. Duby is a viral social network that allows the cannabis community to discover the latest marijuana trends and conversations,” said Duby co-founder Alec Rochford. “Nothing brings people together like sharing a Duby!”
Duby’s unique algorithm allows users to share information in a new way — anonymously and location based. The concept is not to collect friends, but to increase your influence by posting content that is passed around among users. Duby’s proprietary algorithm gives anyone with compelling content the ability to share a Duby among legal cannabis users, reaching an audience of millions. Users can also track how far their Dubys spread on a live map.
In addition to its one-of-a-kind information-sharing concept, privacy is central to the app. Users are ensured complete anonymity through the use of location obfuscation, input sanitation, explicit protection of personally identifiable information, and the inability to privately message other users.
About Duby
Duby, the first viral social network for the cannabis community, allows enthusiasts to anonymously share photos, videos and texts with users in their area, who can then “pass the Duby” or “put the Duby out,” ending the trend. Popular Dubys can eventually spread across the globe, and users can even track how far their Dubys go on a live map. Duby’s stringent security protocols ensure that all users are completely anonymous when posting content. Become a fan of Duby on Facebook or Duby.co and follow Duby on Instagram and Twitter.
