Since its launch in June 2011, LINE has grown to become a service enjoyed by users all over the world, reaching out from Japan to as far as Taiwan, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries, the Middle East, Spain, India, and South America. We here at LINE would like to express our sincere gratitude to all you 200 million users for your support.
Since its launch, LINE has also taken various efforts to localize its service and contents for each country and region. For example, we have offered special Brown and Cony Ramadan stickers to users in Islamic regions in conjunction with Ramadan, the Muslim holy month that is marked by daily fasting from dawn to sunset. Additionally, in Indonesia, we have also donated all proceeds for the sale of a set of orangutan stickers to a fund aimed at the conservation of this endangered species in that country.
To celebrate the milestone of 200M registered users, and to share the outcomes of our various activities domestically and abroad, and our goals for the future, LINE will be conducting a business conference this August, called Hello, Friends in Tokyo 2013. LINE is offering 100 users a chance to win a pair of invitations to the event. Please visit our website for more details.
All download figures are for iPhone/Android/Windows Phone/BlackBerry/Nokia Asha/feature phone apps combined.
