NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
MeetMe,
Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), the public market leader for social discovery, has
enabled users to add interests to their Profiles. With the recent
launch, users are able to select from a wide range of “Tags” to show how
they define themselves. Tags include interests, hobbies, personality
traits, life stages, and other elements to help users identify affinity
that goes deeper than age, gender, and location. Tags are featured
prominently on the Chat and Profile screens, so that users can easily
recognize when they have Tags in common and start a conversation about
their shared interests.
“We are excited to see the impact Tags will have on how MeetMe members
use the application, and the value they receive from it,” said Geoff
Cook, CEO of MeetMe. “We believe Tags will enable MeetMe to make higher
quality recommendations in the future, and we hope the new feature will
lead to more and longer conversations on MeetMe.”
Tags are currently available in MeetMe’s Android and iPhone applications.
