MeetMe’s New Friend Suggestions for iPhone Drives Increased Friendship Requests
May 29 2014 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), the public market leader for social
discovery, has launched its Friend Suggestions feature on its
iPhone application. The feature, previously available on the web
platform, surfaces a “People You Might Like” section within Feed
and Friends, with the goal of driving more friend requests, new
friendships, and ultimately, new chat conversations.
“We are focused on solving the problem of finding new high
quality chat partners for our users,” said MeetMe CEO Geoff Cook.
“Friend Suggestions helps facilitate new interactions by suggesting
relevant people. We consistently find that friends are more likely
to chat each other and reply to a friend’s chat. In the week since
we’ve launched the feature, we are pleased to see iPhone friend
requests up more than 60%, and to see total friend requests up 30%.
We expect we will continue to grow new friend connections with the
launch of Friend Suggestions on Android in Q3.”
