NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Kiwibox.com [KIWB.OTC] proudly announces the launch of its new "on-the-road browser registration" feature for its recently launched "m.kiwibox.com" mobile site. New users can register now on Kiwibox through their mobile phone and the upcoming trend of tablet devices via submission of their email address and subsequent confirmation as well as a "one click" sign-up with their existing Facebook account information.

Since its debut in mid September of this year, the HTML 5 enhanced companion to Kiwibox's desktop version has facilitated seamless interactivity between both versions, resulting in marked increase in user activity. In conjunction with Kiwibox's recent, branded events and the ability to sign up users "in-event" through the mobile platform, user registrations have grown 37% over previous averages. Additionally, the ability to connect with other users through the mobile platform and update multiple aspects of their Kiwibox profile while at events has generated a 54% rise in active user profiles since the mobile browser version debuted.

The trend of global internet users switching from traditional, desktop based internet browsing to mobile is a trend not expected to slow down anytime soon. This year alone, mobile browser viewing has grown 10% over 2011 numbers and mobile internet usage is expected to overtake desktop based usage by 2014. Kiwibox is heavily invested in this market move and has integrated mobile advertisements as one of the first social networks and communities in the market to better secure its advertisement income. Kiwibox works hard to develop new advertisement and income possibilities to ensure its future success.
