mig33 Builds Leading Mobile Community with GetJar, Exceeding 10M Download Mark

GetJar, the world’s largest independent app store, announced today that mig33, the world’s largest mobile community, has been downloaded more than 10 million times on the GetJar network. In addition, with mig33’s vibrant developer community building a range of variations on the mig33 platform, GetJar has now provided over 17 million downloads for the many versions of mig33. mig33 remains the top searched for term on GetJar, with four times the search volume of the next highest application, Facebook.

“GetJar has been core to mig33’s growth strategy since launching in 2005,” said Steve Boom, CEO of mig33. “Once mig33 was uploaded to GetJar, users from all over the world started to download it. In growing from just over 1 million registered users at the end of 2006, to well over 20 million registered users today, we have increased our advertising and taken advantage of the Pay Per Download (PPD) program. GetJar remains both a key source of new users around the world, and a very cost effective paid marketing activity for us. In addition, with many people going to GetJar to search for our application, GetJar has enabled our developer community to find an audience for the many additional applications that enhance the mig33 ecosystem.”

“Mobile social networking apps have been tremendously popular on GetJar. mig33, as first to market in this mobile space, has really pushed the envelope by offering chatrooms, photo sharing, and now virtual gifts to its users, so it’s only natural that this application is among the most downloaded of all time on GetJar,” said Ilja Laurs, Founder and CEO of GetJar. “The rapid growth of mig33 is a great way to showcase how successful developers can build amazing applications targeting more than simply smartphones, get global distribution and generate a multi-million dollar business in the process.”

From its humble beginnings in 2005, mig33 has excelled on all fronts. Its tremendous growth in subscribers enabled the company to raise two rounds of funding totalling over $23.5 million from investors such as Accel Partners, DCM, Redpoint Partners and TVP. The service is available to any mobile phone user and is optimized to work on more than 2,000 handsets for users in over 200 countries.
