NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
MeetMe,
Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), a public market leader for social discovery, today
announced it has begun rolling out new functionality that enables the
user bases of its two primary apps, MeetMe and Skout, to chat with each
other seamlessly. With the completion of this latest rollout, users will
be able to browse the combined user bases, view profiles and photos from
both apps, and chat between the two platforms. MeetMe intends to
complete the rollout across its mobile applications over the next month.
When the rollout is complete, MeetMe users will be able to chat with 60%
more users, and Skout users will be able to chat with 162% more users
than they were previously able to on MeetMe or Skout alone. The company
believes this increase in user density has global implications, as Skout
has an 80% international audience and a sizeable presence in a number of
non-English speaking markets that MeetMe also serves.
“This release is another key milestone in our plan to maximize the
potential of the Skout acquisition and lay the groundwork for others to
come,” said Geoff Cook, CEO of MeetMe. “Most importantly, though, we
believe it improves our users’ experience in a very real way by adding
more people to chat with and meet. We believe this substantial increase
in user density may lead to higher engagement and more sessions per day,
as users will be able to find better, more relevant matches.”
