MeetMe Makes Finding New Mobile Chat Partners Even Easier with New “Hit Me Up” Feature
04 August 2014 - 11:00PM
Business Wire
MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), the public market leader for social
discovery, has released a new feature within its MeetMe app that
makes it quick and easy to discover new mobile chat partners. The
new feature, called “Hit Me Up,” appears within the Chat section
and lets users indicate that they are available to chat right
now.
Users viewing Hit Me Up can filter potential chat partners by
age, gender, and location. When users add themselves to Hit Me Up,
they’ll be shown for one hour. After their hour is up, users may
add themselves to the top of the list again to show they continue
to be ready to chat now.
“We strive to facilitate quality chat interactions for our
users,” noted MeetMe CEO Geoff Cook. “One aspect of quality chat
interactions is immediate replies. Hit Me Up is designed to find
someone who wants to chat right now. Since the recent launch of Hit
Me Up on iOS last week, we’ve seen icebreaker activity increase 50%
and new conversations increase 8% on that platform. Hit Me Up is
the latest in a deep pipeline of features aimed at driving more
chats and increasing chat quality.”
Hit Me Up is now available within the MeetMe app for both iPhone
and Android.
