The Meet Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:MEET), a leading provider of

With the new product, livestreaming viewers will earn experience
points, or XP, by spending time engaging with broadcasters and
purchasing virtual gifts for them. On reaching certain XP
thresholds, viewers will level-up through the ranks, from Rookie to
Legend, while unlocking exclusive gifts like dinosaurs, dancing
pineapples, castles, and more.
“After successfully launching a level-based progression system
for broadcasters in July, we are now thrilled to offer a similarly
gamified program for viewers to motivate them to engage even more,”
said Geoff Cook, Chief Executive Officer of The Meet Group. “We
believe we can further leverage these level systems to shape user
behavior in the future by attaching XP bonuses or minimum level
requirements to new features, contests, and promotions.”
Viewer Levels appear publicly on avatars and profiles in Live
for viewers who reach Level 20. The company expects to bring the
feature to its other apps by the end of the first quarter.
“Today, we are also pleased to announce that NextDate, our
first-of-its-kind livestreaming dating game, is now available to
all US users of our MeetMe and Skout apps,” continued Cook. “Now
everyone can be the star of their very own dating game. We are
pleased as well to see early performance in-line with expectations.
In fact, just this weekend vDAU surpassed 900,000 for the first
time since June. We look forward to growing this number further as
NextDate rolls out to users in non-English markets on MeetMe and
Skout later this year and to users of our apps Tagged and LOVOO in
January.”
