ShareNEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
MeetMe,
Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), a public market leader for social discovery, has
expanded the user profiles in its Android and iPhone applications to
allow users to provide more details about themselves. This is an
important step before the company revamps its subscription service,
MeetMe+, planned for later this year. The revamp will enable paid
MeetMe+ subscribers to search for people and find better matches through
the additional profile information. New fields on the MeetMe user
profile include height, body type, ethnicity, and other demographic and
behavioral information.
“We believe the ability to search for potential chat partners using this
additional profile data will be an important driver of our revamped
MeetMe+ product,” said Geoff Cook, CEO of MeetMe. “This is just one of
the new benefits we plan on adding for MeetMe+ subscribers later this
year, and we believe the new features will help us reach our next-year
goal of tripling our subscriber base.”
