MeetMe Launches Seamless Cross-Platform Chat between Skout & MeetMe Applications
February 22 2017 - 09:00AM
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.”
