    Bebo

    Bebo, an acronym for "Blog early, blog often", is a social networking website, founded in January 2005. It can be used in many countries including Ireland, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia. A Polish version was launched recently, which uses a different user database. There are plans for French German and other versions. Founded by husband and wife Michael and Xochi Birch, Bebo had a major relaunch in July 2005.

    It was bought by AOL on March 13, 2008 for $850 m (£417 m).

    Profiles
    Bebo is similar to other social networking sites. Each profile must include two specific modules, a comment section where other users can leave a message, and a list of the users friends. Users can select from many more modules to add. By default, when an account is created the profile is private, which limits access to friends specifically added. The user may select the "Public Profile" option so as the profile will still be visible to any other members of a school they may have joined. Profiles may be personalized by a design template that is the background of the users profile, known as a skin.

    Profiles may include quizzes which offer multiple choice, polls for their friends to vote in and comment on, photo albums which allows the user to upload an unlimited number of images with a maximum limit of 48 per album, blogs with a comments section, a list of bands of which the user is a fan, a list of groups that the user is a member of. A Video Box may be added, either hot-linked from YouTube, uploaded directly to Bebos servers via or copied from a Bebo Media Content Providers page.

    Members can view the recent changes friends have made to their homepage from the Home menu. These changes can include uploaded photos, updated flashboxes and newly added videos and friends.
