"We're all very excited about the new features, and so far the response from our community has been positive," said marketing executive Suzann Knudsen from xPeeps parent company AEBN. "As it was designed based on input from the members of the site, it's nice to see the reaction. It's like giving the ultimate in customer service."
New features include the combination of the browse and search functions, an improved directory section and the addition of a photo album feature. A new section called "The Casting Couch" has been added for directors and photographers to find talent for their projects through the xPeeps site. Further improvements and features will be added to the site over the next several weeks.
Launched in early 2006, xPeeps was conceived as an online space where industry professionals could connect with fans, and fans could interact with stars and other like-minded individuals. According to xPeeps, membership is now more than 400,000.
