Sweetr Social Discovery Service Launches Version 1.8 With Sweetr Meetr™, Stickers, Keyword Search – Announces Availability In China, Korea, and Japan.
Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) September 05, 2013 -- Sweetrlife Technologies, Inc., whose mission is to make meeting new people and places more easily discoverable, today announced the launch of version 1.8 of Sweetr for iPhone and expanded coverage that includes China, Japan, and Korea. Starting today, people can find new friends and experiences simply by launching Sweetr and searching the Sweetr Meetr or the stream of updates shared by nearby people called, “Sweets.”
John Davis, Sweetr Co-Founder and CEO, explains:
"Unlike other services that just serve stale profiles or allow you to search a fixed list of people by age and city, Sweetr taps into the always-fresh stream of social updates to help you answer the questions, Who else is nearby and what's happening of interest right now?' And with the introduction of hashtags, Sweetr can now deliver timely and relevant information on nearby places and topics that people choose to share by posting Sweets.
Every day, we walk by countless people who are sharing an ever-growing volume of updates with their connections on Facebook and Twitter, but how do you find new friends and new experiences outside the worldview of just your existing friends? This is where Sweetr comes in - in the USA and China alone, Sweetr has over 100,000 downloads and is now indexing over 10,000 updates from people every month. With Sweetr Social Discovery, you can now tap into that stream to find new people and places of interest wherever you go.
Sweetr takes an even greater leap forward with the Sweetr Meetr™ game, coupling the app in your pocket with an “Interested-or-Not” cloud-based service that runs continually on your behalf. When you show interest in someone nearby, and they reciprocate, Sweetr creates a match alerting both parties to continue the conversation on Sweetr. Unlike vanity apps based solely on outward appearances, Sweetr lets you view a match’s profile and previous Sweets, thereby gaining knowledge of what their interests are so that you can match on more than just outward appearance. Break the ice with a Sticker and take it to the next level with chat. Sweetr monitors the stream of nearby people and generates timely notifications if you’re both interested in each other. The Sweetr Meetr is totally anonymous and only likeminded individuals match so no one knows if you don’t vote for them.
Whether looking for a “date", a “recommendation,” a “craft beer,” a “conversation,” a “night club” with a "great dance floor," or a place to watch tonight's "game," users can find a needle in the haystack with Sweetr.
Sweetr has spent almost two years building technology that makes it easy to see who else is around, break the ice and see what is happening nearby. Sweetr's new Search and Sweets capabilities build upon this solid foundation to ensure that Search presents the best local results based on users posts and not paid sponsorship.
Davis adds, "Sweetr 1.8's new features help you interact with your surroundings like never before. When you land in a new city and know no one, Sweetr can tell you where the people are, where the action is, or where the nearest Sushi is with recommendations. Sweetr can analyze what people are saying about things to help you select the best outcomes. Sweetr allows you to search your surroundings and get information just when you want it and that’s what really matters."
The Sweetr team is constantly monitoring how people use and react to each other’s Sweets and will be improving the app continuously in response to users.
Other Sweetr features worth noting include:
• Break the ice with Stickers: Sweetr now features a shop where you can play for stickers to send to others. This is big in Asia and coming to instant messaging everywhere.
• Improved game play: Members can purchase credits to keep playing for Stickers if they choose and this is a monetization strategy found in mobile games today.
• Private messages: Messages can include voice, video, and stickers
• Longer video posts: Videos of longer than 10 seconds and up 45 seconds depending on quality can be uploaded to Sweetr stream or sent privately to other members.
Sweetr for iPhone is available now in the iTunes App Store.
