MeetMe Releases New Friend Suggestions on Android to Drive Engagement

MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), the public market leader for social discovery, has launched its Friend Suggestions feature for the Android platform. The feature, which has been available on web and iPhone platforms, provides a “People You Might Like” section within Feed and Friends. The feature is intended to increase friend requests, new friendships, and new chat conversations, all intended to grow engagement and help expand the audience.

“Finding new high quality chat partners for our users is one of our most important goals,” said MeetMe CEO Geoff Cook. “Friend Suggestions makes it easy to discover quality, local connections. When we launched this feature for the iPhone, friend requests on that platform increased more than 60% in the first week. Given that our Android audience is 80% larger than our iPhone audience, we expect Friend Suggestions on Android to have an even bigger overall impact on engagement.”
