KIWIBOX.COM Integrates Facebook/Twitter Connector Feature to Open Its Site to Millions of New Users
NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- KIWIBOX.COM, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: KIWB), has added new features to its initial login and Live Stream process. New users now have the option to easily signup with just a few mouse clicks using their existing Facebook account to become a Kiwibox member. This feature connects with the person's Facebook Login, views his or her profile information, and quickly registers the person on Kiwibox. The new process eliminates the daunting task of having to register manually and then having to respond to an email to sign in. Once registered the new member's friends will be virally informed on the Facebook newsfeed. In the near future, new updates for Kiwibox existing mobile Applications for Android and iPhone will be available to complete this milestone in development.
Not only does linking Kiwibox.com with Facebook make signing up easier, it also allows new users to find friends from Facebook who are already Kiwibox members. Other newly incorporated features on Kiwibox.com include being able to send and receive updates from Facebook or Twitter right into the Kiwibox Live Stream. People can now be active on multiple sites with one click when posting through the Kiwibox Live Stream. Research shows that 52% of all worldwide news updates are posted through social networks. This feature places Kiwibox in the direct line of the users most focused activity and lets the members stay in touch with their friends independent of their social network choice.
Facebook has 573 million members worldwide, according to its own market research site InsideFacebook.com - Twitter has 150-200 million members who are following themes, news and status updates. Kiwibox has more than 3 million registered users with more than 0.7 million of these members being "active." Being a trend-setting, interactive social network community, Kiwibox has a stronger social binding than dating-sites and therefore a larger impact on the users behavior.
Integrating the Kiwibox.com Live Stream with these other larger social networks gives Kiwibox members access to millions of other users, across multiple social networks. This interface creates a viral stream of information - leading to increased Kiwibox growth. Already in the first days after integration, 50% of all new users activated this new feature to gain access to the Kiwibox website, giving credence to the potency of this viral marketing instrument feature.
