iPhone app that makes it easier for users to start a chat.

“Icebreakers solves the problem of the empty chat screen,” said
Geoff Cook, CEO of MeetMe. “Rather than starting conversations with
a generic ‘Hi’ or ‘What’s up,’ or possibly not starting them at all
for lack of knowing what to say, Icebreakers makes sending an
engaging first chat as simple as one tap. We believe it has the
potential to increase both the number and quality of chats, leading
to more replies and ultimately higher user engagement.”
The feature offers approximately 400 icebreakers in eight
different categories. Users can simply select one, tap once, and
initiate a chat. The Company expects to launch Icebreakers for
Android in the coming weeks.
