NEW HOPE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), the public market leader for social discovery, has enabled users to add interests to their Profiles. With the recent launch, users are able to select from a wide range of “Tags” to show how they define themselves. Tags include interests, hobbies, personality traits, life stages, and other elements to help users identify affinity that goes deeper than age, gender, and location. Tags are featured prominently on the Chat and Profile screens, so that users can easily recognize when they have Tags in common and start a conversation about their shared interests.
“We are excited to see the impact Tags will have on how MeetMe members use the application, and the value they receive from it,” said Geoff Cook, CEO of MeetMe. “We believe Tags will enable MeetMe to make higher quality recommendations in the future, and we hope the new feature will lead to more and longer conversations on MeetMe.”
Tags are currently available in MeetMe’s Android and iPhone applications.
