The company started out as a social networking site for the Portuguese youth in 2004.〔(About Chilltime ) from Chilltime〕 The project grew to a point where it gained the interest of the magazine publisher Edimpresa. In 2007, Edimpresa was a joint venture between the European publishing company Edipresse and Impresa a Portuguese media conglomerate. Edimpresa acquired a 51pct majority stake of the company in October 2007 for less than a million euros. The company focused on its social network in Portugal that included profiles, friend updates, photos, online journals, forums, groups and integrated communities.〔(Social network portfolio ) from Chilltime〕 These integrated communities included SIC Radical, Portuguese Idolos, Portuguese ''Cosmopolitan'' and Gato Fedorento with photos, videos, fan updates, competitions and forums.〔(Chilltime Portfolio ) from Chilltime〕 In 2008, Netjovens.pt re-branded to Chilltime.com in attempt to make the social networking site go international. During this period the Impresa bought the remaining 50pct stake in Edimpresa from European publisher Edipresse. The 51pct stake of Chilltime now belonged to Portuguese media conglomerate Impresa. In December, 2009, the founder bought the 51pct stake owned by Impresa for an undisclosed amount. Impresa stated that the company no longer made sense in its portfolio considering international competition from Social networking sites and that it would focus on its national businesses, the founder stated that in this new phase Chilltime would focus new projects that were not based on advertising model, neither on the Portuguese national market. In January 2010, Chilltime replaced the social networking website with their corporate website.〔()〕 Later that year in August, Chilltime launched World War Online, a massively multiplayer strategy war game. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chilltime」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
