HOUSTON, June 15, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- So Act Network, Inc. (OTCBB:SOAN), which is endorsed by William Shatner as "a ray of hope amidst all the gloom," and by Ed Asner as "the best place to make a difference," announced today that its members will never face any of the privacy concerns found on other social networks. So Act's platform was created with intentional design features that assure total privacy for its members whose information is never harvested for the benefit of advertisers. In essence, So Act members are able to select what interests them and companies get focused customers with both parties retaining full control over their privacy. These benefits are becoming more and more relevant in light of the recent news that the most popular networks have developed some serious problems due to two factors.
- Other well known networks have been designed to allow members private information to be accessed and compromised by third parties who have no legitimate interest but to spam those members with irrelevant advertising.
- These networks are developing databases of consumers and their private habits and then using that information in most cases without the knowledge of unsuspecting members.
"At So Act, every member gets their own private internal network with free file storage, viewing, transfer and sharing," said Greg Halpern - So Act Network CEO. "Members can do the things they do on other networks but we also have built and provided many additional productivity tools that help build any project or business much more efficiently. For companies and individuals with the need to focus an audience, we also white label our network to share economic opportunities, but our members information is never compromised, shared or sold to third parties for any reason. The other networks may never be able to make that promise because their revenue models depend on getting paid by advertisers."
In a recent Wall Street Journal article, Emily Steel and Jessica E. Vascellaro point out one of the main problems with social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Myspace, among others, is that "the Sites have been breaching their own privacy policies as well as industry standards, which says sites shouldn't share and advertisers shouldn't collect personally identifiable information without users' permission." Fortunately, now with So Act, there is a place to go where privacy will never be a problem.

About MAX SOUND™ (wholly owned by So Act Network, Inc.)
MAX SOUND is to audio what HD (High Definition) is to video. In the past, delivering "high definition" audio on a mass scale has been improbable because of the huge amounts of bandwidth required to do so. Now however, MAX SOUND is the solution to provide high definition audio to an anxious global audience. MAX SOUND is a proprietary, patent-pending process and technology with a significant competitive advantage because it converts audio to the perfect form that was created in the acoustic space it was originally recorded or performed in. For any audio file - MAX SOUND corrects and optimizes harmonic content, greatly enhances acoustic accuracy, reduces ear fatigue, restores lost content, repairs and improves dynamic range and eliminates the destructive effects of compression with no increase in file size or transmission bandwidth. MAX SOUND requires no encoding/decoding process and needs no additional hardware after processing and during playback. Audio processed with MAX SOUND - voice, instrument, or special effects - sound refreshingly clear, realistic, and natural creating an optimal live sound field throughout every listening environment – from the corners of a theater, on your living room couch, to the back seat of your car. MAX SOUND is compatible with all existing sound technologies, with minimal cost to users providing an incomparable auditory experience. With the advent of the mp3 and HD technology there is a demand for the "best" in AV delivery systems. Mp3 technology has forced the consumer to accept degraded audio in a small file package for convenience sake. MAX SOUND, applied to mp3 audio, delivers CD quality or better in the same bandwidth size as the original mp3 audio giving web based delivery systems like iTunes, the opportunity to deliver much better sounding audio without affecting cost. With HD broadcasts now mandatory, audio must be compressed (degraded) in order to fit in the allotted bandwidth. MAX SOUND doesn't compress the audio, it restores content that is lost due to the existing compression types providing a major solution to a major problem that only MAX SOUND technology can provide. On the Web, MAX SOUND will soon be delivered to consumers via a secure server allowing users to apply the process to their audio in real time. Home audio enthusiasts, amateur and semi-pro musicians, home movie enthusiasts, YouTube users, and consumers with old audio and video recordings will soon be able to dramatically improve their audio for modest $1 to $10 fees on a White Labeled So Act Network at http://MaxSound.com
