Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this presentation and responses to various questions include forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained herein are
forward-looking statements, including statements regarding mobile growth, revenue and monetization, opportunities for traditional
display advertising, and potential growth in incentivized video advertising. The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,”
“anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to
us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current
expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of
operations, business strategy and financial needs. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-
looking statements include users will be willingness to purchase virtual currency for our various offerings, the effectiveness of the mobile
software on smartphones and tablets, and the risk that we are unable to monetize our mobile users. Further information on our risk
factors is contained in our filings with the SEC, including the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Any forward-looking
statement made by us herein speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to
differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update
any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required
by law.

The MeetMe User is Addicted to Mobile


Mobile Users Are Even More Engaged
Android and iPhone users visit for shorter periods of time, but much more often,
resulting in more daily time spent per user than on the web – over 20 years’
worth of minutes on Android alone, every day!

Source: Flurry/Google Analytics


Mobile as a New User Acquisition Stream
 1 out of every 4 MeetMe registrations comes via mobile apps
– And mobile signups are significantly less likely to churn!

 In the end, about 1 out of every 3 newly engaged users found us via the
App Store or Google Play
 We expect this proportion to continue growing as smartphone and
tablet penetration increases in our target demographic

Mobile described as a “revenue challenge,” a “conundrum,” even a
“gaping hole” in the IPO buildup

Mobile App Revenue Exploding

Sourcehttp://allthingsd.com/20120530/mary-meekers-internet-trends-live-at-d10-slides/


In-App Purchases Increasingly Outperforming Paid Apps
More than 65% of iOS app revenue attributed to Freemium games


The Formula: One-Tap Purchase
Virtually every iPhone user has a credit card on file with iTunes,
enabling a frictionless one-tap purchase flow


Android In-App Billing Getting Easier
Expect Google to encourage users to create a billing profile on
activation of a new phone or download of the first app


Both Platforms Must Improve Internationally
Both iOS and Android are overly reliant on a faulty expectation that everyone
has a credit card – need to support popular local payment methods,
especially in countries with much smaller advertising markets

New Players Emerge – But Will They Matter?

• Flurry: Amazon Appstore monetizing 90% as well as iTunes, per user
• The original innovator in frictionless payments
• Ability to strike large deals with handset makers and market their own
tablets


Mobile Offer Walls Help Drive Monetization


Incentivized Mobile Video Ads Poised for Growth
 Premium placements command
premium CPMs
 Avoids screen size constraints
 Guaranteed eyeballs
 Plugs into social app ecosystem:
– Facebook
– Twitter
– SMS

 Available on all platforms


MeetMe’s Social Theater Is Mobile in 2012


Still a Huge Opportunity for “Traditional” Display Ads
 Only 3% of consumers are spending their money on in-app purchases
 Advertising can monetize the other 97%-- at a lower rate, but one that
will improve with time

Translation: Be Mobile or Be Irrelevant


Advertisers Should Be Excited About Mobile
 More Reach
– Users are always on, always plugged in – now advertisers can reach them more
often than they ever could before

 More Context
– Mobile is a higher-quality touch point
– Target based on interests, social graph, location
– Point-of-sale capabilities developing

 More Expectations
– Increasingly, users expect their web experience to transition seamlessly onto their
mobile phones
– No patience for apps and brands that aren’t available everywhere


Smartphone Penetration to Increase
