Kiwibox.com Launches Mobile Site Registration Capability Which
Affects Immediate Increase In Activity And Registrations
NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2012
/PRNewswire/ -- Kiwibox.com [KIWB.OTC] proudly announces the launch
of its new "on-the-road browser registration" feature for its
recently launched "m.kiwibox.com" mobile site. New users can
register now on Kiwibox through their mobile phone and the upcoming
trend of tablet devices via submission of their email address and
subsequent confirmation as well as a "one click" sign-up with their
existing Facebook account information.
Since its debut in mid September of this year, the HTML 5
enhanced companion to Kiwibox's desktop version has facilitated
seamless interactivity between both versions, resulting in marked
increase in user activity. In conjunction with Kiwibox's recent,
branded events and the ability to sign up users "in-event" through
the mobile platform, user registrations have grown 37% over
previous averages. Additionally, the ability to connect with other
users through the mobile platform and update multiple aspects of
their Kiwibox profile while at events has generated a 54% rise in
active user profiles since the mobile browser version debuted.
The trend of global internet users switching from traditional,
desktop based internet browsing to mobile is a trend not
expected to slow down anytime soon. This year alone, mobile browser
viewing has grown 10% over 2011 numbers and mobile internet usage
is expected to overtake desktop based usage by 2014. Kiwibox is
heavily invested in this market move and has integrated mobile
advertisements as one of the first social networks and communities
in the market to better secure its advertisement income.
Kiwibox works hard to develop new advertisement and income
possibilities to ensure its future success.
