TechCrunch reports that Quepasa and myYearbook, the New Hope-based social network it merged with last year, will rebrand itself as MeetMe sometime this summer.
myYearbook started out as a social working site for high schoolers, and even though it evolved into more of a social discovery service -- one that’s increasingly mobile -- the name still reflected its early roots. Meanwhile, Quepasa, which tries to do something similar for a Latin American audience, has a name suggesting a regional social network.
So starting in July, the myYearbook website, smartphone apps, tablet apps, and mobile website will all be rebranded as MeetMe. Then in September, the company plans to finish internationalizing myYearbook/MeetMe into Spanish and Portuguese, and that site will be replace the existing Quepasa product. The company itself, currently called Quepasa Corporation, will be renamed MeetMe, and it plans to change its stock ticker symbol (it’s traded on NYSE Amex) from QPSA to MEET sometime this summer.
