Early data indicates increase in numbers of
chats sent
MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), the public market leader for social
discovery, today announced the completion of its rollout of
real-time chat on Android. The company has experienced gains in
certain engagement data following the recent launch.
“We launched real-time chat on Android, our largest platform,
first. Now the vast majority of our Android audience has adopted
the real-time features,” said Geoff Cook, CEO of MeetMe. “Over the
first half of April, chats sent per day on Android were up 18% vs.
the Android Q1 average, and screen views in Chat were up 12% vs the
Android Q1 average. Although this is early data, we’re excited to
see this growth in Chat, our most popular feature, especially since
we recently hit a milestone overall with 10 million chats sent in a
24 hour period.”
“We remain on track for completing the launch of both real-time
chat and ephemeral photo-sharing inside Chat by the end of this
month across both iPhone and Android,” noted Cook. “We expect to
launch real-time components in the coming weeks on web as well. The
early data suggests our users appreciate the improvements to the
chat experience, and we are excited by the large improvements yet
to come.”
