Netlog
Netlog (formerly known as Facebox and Bingbox) was a Belgian social networking website specifically targeted at the global youth demographic. On Netlog, members could create their own web page, meet new people, chat, play games, share videos and post blogs.〔http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/netlog〕
The site was founded and launched in 1999 under the name ASL.TO in Ghent, Belgium, by Lorenz Bogaert and Toon Coppens. In 2002 the name of the website was changed into Redbox, a website targeted to the Belgian youth. Starting from 2005, the social network was available in other countries in and outside Europe.〔http://netlog.appappeal.com/〕 About one year later, the website was renamed ‘Netlog’.〔http://www.smallbizpod.co.uk/blog/2007/04/25/facebox-becomes-netlog-and-bags-5m-euros/〕〔https://gigaom.com/2007/04/25/419-facebox-gets-68-million-for-pan-european-social-net-rebrands-netlog/〕 By 2007, Netlog had attracted 28 million members and kept on growing the years after.〔http://techcrunch.com/2008/04/05/europe-is-searching-for-its-silicon-valley/〕〔http://techcrunch.com/2009/10/29/netlog-gets-a-major-makeover-now-growing-at-500000-users-a-week/〕 At its hight the site claimed to have over 94 million registered users across 20+ languages.
In January 2011, Netlog announced that the site would become part of Massive Media,〔http://techcrunch.com/2011/01/14/netlog-creates-becomes-part-of-massive-media-expands-to-new-york-and-dubai-2/〕 a global media group, focusing mainly on social media, and allowing product portfolio to expand into new markets. They also own Twoo.com,〔http://www.sourcewire.com/news/72724/fast-growing-social-discovery-site-twoo-com-gets-serious-about#.VBbDeS5_t8Y〕 a free social discovery platform launched in 2011, and Stepout, an application for meeting new people nearby (relaunched in late 2013).〔http://www.onlinepersonalswatch.com/news/2013/09/stepout-is-now-part-of-twoo.html〕 As of 2015 the homepage shows a sign it has been merged with Twoo.
== Feedback ==
After joining the site, users could invite friends by e-mail or Facebook to join the network. In 2011, some users complained about the fact that this process wasn't clear enough.〔http://www.justanswer.com/email/6x3zl-help-received-email-netlog-clicked-link.html〕 In the meantime, Netlog changed the flow on the website, making it more clear, and the amount of complaints dropped.
