Minekey Extends its Discussion Community on Leading Social Networks to its Website to Reach Broader Audience

SUNNYVALE, CA – Sep 8, 2008 – Minekey, the Leading Discussion Community on Facebook, today launched its destination website to extend its reach to a broader audience. Minekey’s discussion network now spans across its own website and the five leading social networks – Facebook, MySpace, Friendster, Hi5 and Orkut.

To date, over 1.8 million users have participated in discussions on the Minekey network and have expressed over one million opinions, cast 40 million votes and written over seven million comments. Minekey is rated as the most addictive application on Facebook by many users and is among the top 100 social applications in activity and engagement. Minekey ranks among the top five applications in Politics, top 10 in Chat and top three applications with a high percentage of women users.

“Social networks are not very effective at connecting people outside their immediate social circles”, says Delip Andra Minekey’s Founder & CEO. “Minekey expands the social universe by helping users connect with people from all over the world through conversations”.

One great example of how Minekey makes this kind of social connection possible is the story of Samantha Sten, an ardent user from Sweden, and Antonis Konstantoudakis, another passionate user from Greece, who met on Minekey, and will soon get married. Antonis says “Minekey encourages discussion about a wide variety of subjects, while remaining surprisingly fun. Minekey makes the whole world closer, and much smaller. The experience has changed my life.” Says Samantha, “I’ve made more friends and intellectual companions in a few weeks of using Minekey than I had all the time I used Facebook without it. On Minekey, I met the love of my life, and so have many others.”
