NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
      MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), a public market leader for social
      discovery, today announced the beta launch of Live in its popular MeetMe
      applications. Live is a one-to-many video feature that allows users to
      broadcast themselves, watch other users’ broadcasts, and chat in real
      time. The feature is currently available to MeetMe’s beta community, and
      the company plans to begin to roll out to more users on MeetMe over the
      coming weeks.
    
      Broadcasts in Live will be moderated through a combination of
      algorithmic analysis and manual review. After the initial rollout is
      complete, MeetMe intends to launch new freemium products within the
      video streams to help monetize the broadcast-viewing experience and
      encourage its broadcasters to produce high-quality content. The company
      also expects to bring the feature to its Skout mobile applications in
      the second half of the year.
    
      “We believe Live will be a popular feature for connecting our millions
      of users,” said Geoff Cook, CEO of MeetMe. “If you think of MeetMe as
      the neighborhood bar, as we do, then video is the live entertainment
      meant to keep people engaged and give them something more to talk about.
      We believe chat will keep users coming back to the app, and video will
      extend the time they spend in the app, forming a powerful product mix.
      We believe video will also open the door to increased revenue with new
      advertising placements and in-app purchases through a gifting mechanism
      popularized by Momo, Live.me, and others.”
