The company originally was founded as a media platform for all consumers & categories—with the vision that people will be the filters for content and products. For the first 18th months, the company focused on building a social discovery platform to connect people based on their interests and passions for things they love in silicon valley and bringing the top luxury brands on as advertisers in New York. In late 2004, the company decided to focus on women as their first demographic and style as their first vertical category by recreating the look and feel of printed fashion magazines. The company launched Glam.com in September 2005 at Fashion Week in New York. After the launch, Mode discovered that consumers were going to a large number of web sites and blogs instead of portals like Yahoo and AOL, and created the industry's first Blog Affiliates Network with 12 style bloggers. The growth of social media, discovery of content and the massive increase of the long-tail helped grow Mode Media from a small startup to a top media company. The company evolved its Blog sites model to a TV affiliates and Cable model by requiring the use of their technology platform, branding, editorial supervision, data-rights and premium marketing programs—separating itself from the portals and ad networks as a business model. As the company grew, it diversified its focus from exclusively targeting a female audience. The company now owns and operates Mode.com across 20 lifestyle categories and Channels: Glam (Women Style, Fashion, Beauty), Brash (Men's Lifestyle), Bliss (Health & Wellness), Tend (Parenting), Foodie (Food Recipes and Restaurants) and Entertainment, Music and Video. Mode Media has built a proprietary ad platform Adapt for super premium brand advertising that is used by more than 6,000 sites worldwide. In June, 2007, Mode Media became the #1 women's web property in the US as reported by comScore. In September, 2007, Mode Media launched its first discovery product "Glam Curator" and started to popularize the term "curation" as a new way of filtering content in the social web. In September 2011, Mode acquired the Ning, a social media platform that allowed users to create custom social networks.〔http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.showArticle&art_aid=159013〕 In May, 2013, Mary Meeker's Internet Industry Trends listed Mode as one of the Top 10 Internet Properties by Global Monthly Reach—"Glam Is Huge! Bigger than Wikipedia or Apple. The only Internet properties with more US users are Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Yahoo." 〔 In 2014, Glam Media was renamed to Mode Media. 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「Mode Media」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
