WEST PALM BEACH, FL--(Marketwire - July 14, 2010) - Quepasa Corporation (
'SnapMeUp' is the ultimate marriage of online flirting and social gaming. Quepasa players can find fame and fortune by buying, selling and trading photos of their friends with other people on the site. Some will become tycoons by mastering the art of buy low/sell high and others will find validation as the hottest person on the market.
"We're excited about how the Quepasa audience is responding to 'SnapMeUp'; while it's been on the site for less than two weeks, 'SnapMeUp' is already one of the most popular apps on Quepasa," said Dale Strang, president and chief executive officer of Viximo. "Both conversion and revenue per user data are tracking ahead of our expectations and the conversion of free users to paying users is one of the best we have seen so far across our publisher base. As a result, we are accelerating plans to launch additional titles on Quepasa, including new titles -- Texas Hold'em Poker and War Metal -- in the near future."
"Our users are showing tremendous enthusiasm for 'SnapMeUp,'" said John Abbott, chief executive officer of Quepasa. "We have already seen rapid adoption amongst our users even though we have yet to launch Spanish and Portuguese versions of the application or promote the availability of this application to our registered user base of 15 million Latinos."
In the coming months, Quepasa plans to release several additional social games through their relationship with Viximo as well as open up their platform to third party social game developers to launch additional social games on Quepasa.com.
