MeetMe Launches Live Video to Beta Users

03/30/2017

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.”
