Tango Celebrates Three Years of Industry Leaps as It Passes 150M Members
America's Leading Messaging and Entertainment Platform Looks Ahead to Continued Growth
(firmenpresse) - MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/26/13 -- Tango, America's leading messaging and entertainment platform, announced today that, in just three years, it has surpassed 150 million members -- a 50 percent increase in six months. The growth is tied to strategic changes Tango made starting in June by opening its platform to developers, followed closely in July with enabling social networking features.
"The rapid evolution of the mobile messaging space has presented numerous opportunities to create unique experiences as more consumers turn to their mobile devices to keep in touch with friends and family," said Eric Setton, Tango co-founder and CTO. "After making a splash on the mobile scene with video calling three years ago, we're proud that we now have 150 million members and are leading the trend of blending messaging, social networking and entertaining content into a single experience that our fans love."
"The mobile communications landscape is changing beyond recognition, and independent applications like Tango are driving that change," said Declan Lonergan, VP of research for Yankee Group's mobile research practice. "Tango has quickly become one of the leading innovators in this exciting marketplace. Its success is strongly tied to how Tango quickly developed a strong membership base of loyal fans by giving them access to people in their network on multiple devices and platforms, and the right content to keep them continuously engaged with one another."
