MeetMe Updates Mobile Apps
September 18 2014 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), the public market leader for social
discovery, updated its MeetMe application on both the iPhone and
Android platforms this week. On iPhone, the app now supports iOS 8,
which became available for download yesterday. On Android, MeetMe
launched username creation and search.
MeetMe’s Android users now can create unique usernames to make
it easy for members to share their MeetMe identity with real-life
friends. For example, a user could choose a username like
“Bob_Smith” and others could easily find that profile by visiting
http://meet.me/Bob_Smith. Users also may search in the Friends or
Chat sections of the MeetMe app to easily find a particular
username. Today the feature is available to a portion of MeetMe’s
Android users and is expected to roll out to all Android users in
the coming weeks.
“We expect the ability to share a MeetMe username easily with an
offline friend will increase MeetMe’s virality,” said MeetMe CEO
Geoff Cook. “We believe word of mouth is the primary driver for
attracting new mobile users to MeetMe. Now users can easily invite
their real-life friends to join them on MeetMe. We are excited to
bring the feature to iOS shortly as well.”
