“Icebreakers solves the problem of the empty chat screen,” said Geoff
Cook, CEO of MeetMe. “Rather than starting conversations with a generic
‘Hi’ or ‘What’s up,’ or possibly not starting them at all for lack of
knowing what to say, Icebreakers makes sending an engaging first chat as
simple as one tap. We believe it has the potential to increase both the
number and quality of chats, leading to more replies and ultimately
higher user engagement.”
The feature offers approximately 400 icebreakers in eight different
categories. Users can simply select one, tap once, and initiate a chat.
The Company expects to launch Icebreakers for Android in the coming
weeks.
