Smeet is an app that lets you create your own virtual world and meet other people in it.

History

In January 2011, Smeet had reached around 6 million subscribers and was translated into about 8 different languages.[1]

Gameplay

Users can create and customize their own profiles and avatars, earn “Fame Points” via a variety of activities, and progress to higher levels. With increasing numbers of Fame Points and levels, users gain a higher social status and receive additional content.[2]

Users can choose from a range of themed quizzes and mini games or complete tasks and games, generating Fame Points through the levelling system. They can also buy pets, plants or fantasy creatures and feed and water them, causing them to grow over time.[3]

Smeet is playable from any browser that supports Flash.[4]

Partnership and projects

Smeet has numerous partner projects with brands including RTL (Bertelsmann),[5] Endemol,[6] and Bravo.[7][8] Smeet also enables a social viewing feature via the integration of videos with user generated content. The videos are mainly streamed from video-sharing websites such as YouTube, but there have also been partnerships with national television channels.
