MeetMe Makes Finding New Mobile Chat Partners Even Easier with New “Hit Me Up” Feature

08/04/2014

NEW HOPE, Pa.–(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.
