Snaptu Doubles Userbase In 5 Months, Now Has 5.5 Million Active Accounts
Snaptu, a Sequoia-backed company that offers a suite of smartphone-like applications that can be installed on more basic handsets, has hit another major milestone: it's now up to 20 million registered accounts, 5.5 million of which are active. And it's adding users very quickly ?�it was only last June that the company announced that it had 10 million registered users, 2.5 million of which were active. In other words, the company has doubled its user base in only five months. The company isn't showing any signs of slowing down, either. Snaptu reports that it's now adding 2.5 million new users a month ?�more than one a second ?�and that it's drawing 3.3 billion monthly page views. Snaptu says that 43% of its users are in Asia (including India), with 26% in North America and the rest split between Europe and South and Central America.
