## Overview

- **Who it's for**: Internet users, especially in Brazil and India, looking to keep in touch with friends and meet new people online.
- **What you get**: A personal profile page, friend connections, and topic-based communities for discussing shared interests. Members could leave testimonials on each other's profiles, share photos, and post status updates. Google operated the service from 2004 until shutting it down in September 2014.
- **How it works**: Users signed up (originally by invitation only), built a profile, added friends, and joined or created communities to interact around shared interests.
