Hi5 is a social networking site based in San Francisco, California. The company was founded in 2003 by Ramu Yalamanchi.[2] By 2008, comScore reported that Hi5 had become the third most popular social networking site in terms of monthly unique visitors.[3]
Bill Gossman was appointed CEO in April 2009,[4] and since that time, Hi5 has refocused itself as a social gaming platform and opened itself to new game developers.[5] Gaming industry veteran Alex St. John joined the company as President and CTO in November 2009.,[6] and in early 2010, Hi5 acquired social gaming company Big Six.[7] The company raised $20 million in series A venture capital from Mohr Davidow Ventures, as well as $15 million in venture debt, in 2007,[8] and announced it had raised $3 million convertible note from existing investor Mohr Davidow, bringing the funding up to $38 million.[9] Quantcast reports Hi5 has 2.7 million monthly US visitors and 46.1 million global visitors.[10]Software-industry veteran Karen Richardson has served as chairwoman of the company's board since 2008.[11]

[hide]Features[edit]
Hi5 has many features common to social networking sites, such as friend networks, photo sharing, user groups, and status updates. Since the site’s redesign in 2009, Hi5 has added a number of features oriented toward gaming and entertainment.[13] The site features over 200 games in a variety of genres, and has been adding games at a rate of 2-3 per week.[14]
At Hi5, users can create an online profile in order to show information such as interests, age and hometown. Users can also upload photos and create personal photo albums where other users can post comments. Hi5 also allows the user to play online games and set up a music player in the profile. Users can also send friend requests via e-mail to other users. When a person receives a friend request, he may accept or decline it, or block the user altogether. If the user accepts another user as a friend, the two will be connected directly or in the 1st degree. The user will then appear on the person's friend list and vice-versa.
Some users opt to make their profiles available for everyone on Hi5 to view. Other users exercise the option to make their profile viewable only to those people who are in their network. The network of friends consists of a user's direct friends (1st degree), the friends of those direct friends (2nd degree) and the friends of the friends of direct friends (3rd degree).[15]
In early 2010, Hi5 began to evolve from a social network into a gaming network.
With Tagged's acquisition of Hi5, their gaming platform will change from third-party developed games to games developed by Tagged's in house team. Tagged noted that Hi5's games weren't as "vibrant" as they could be and Tagged has seen better results from their own games.[16]
[edit]
Due to Hi5’s shift in focus to social gaming, comScore reclassified Hi5 as an online gaming site in early 2011. According to comScore, Hi5 ranked as the 6th most trafficked online gaming site.[17]
Although created and headquartered in the United States, it is more popular in other countries, particularly in Latin America, being ranked 37th in the world only among people who have the Alexa toolbar installed on their browser[18] but only 84th in the US.[19]
Technologies[edit]
In 2010, Hi5 began introducing new developer tools to strengthen the adoption of social gaming on the site. In October, Hi5 announced Sociopath, a set of tools designed to make it easier for developers to bring their game to the Hi5 platform. A major part of the program was the implementation of Facebook compatible APIs, which simplified the process of bringing games already developed for Facebook to Hi5. Sociopath also introduced anonymous play to the site, making it easier for gamers to play games immediately without first having to provide registration info.[20] Sociopath was initially introduced at GDC Online in 2010.[21]
As a companion to Sociopath, Hi5 introduced Sociopay in early 2011. Sociopay is intended to help Hi5 to better monetize users, increasing revenues for themselves and developers. Sociopay automatically adjusts the prices for Hi5 coins based upon a user’s region, capitalizing on Hi5’s international success and helping to monetize users from many different economies. Sociopay also helps monetize users less likely to purchase coins by instead serving them advertisements.[22]

Facebook is an online social networking service. Its name stems from the colloquial name for the book given to students at the start of the academic year by some American university administrations to help students get to know one another.[7]Facebook was founded in February 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow Harvard University students Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum,Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.[8] The founders had initially limited the website's membership to students of the University of Harvard, but later expanded it to colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It gradually added support for students at various other universities before it opened to high school students, and eventually to anyone ages 13 and over. Facebook now allows anyone who claims to be at least 13 years old to become a registered user of the website.[9]
Users must register before using the site, after which they may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, exchange messages, and receive automatic notifications when they update their profile. Additionally, users may join common-interest user groups, organized by workplace, school or college, or other characteristics, and categorize their friends into lists such as "People From Work" or "Close Friends". As of September 2012, Facebook has over one billion active users,[10]of which 8.7% are fake.[11] According to a May 2011 Consumer Reports survey, there are 7.5 million children under 13 with accounts and 5 million under 10, violating the site's terms of service.[12] Facebook (as of 2012) has about 180 petabytes of data a year and grows by over half a petabyte every 24 hours.[13]
In May 2005, Accel partners invested $12.7 million in Facebook, and Jim Breyer[14]added $1 million of his own money to the pot. A January 2009 Compete.com study ranked Facebook as the most used social networking service by worldwide monthly active users.[15] Entertainment Weekly included the site on its end-of-the-decade "best-of" list, saying, "How on earth did we stalk our exes, remember our co-workers' birthdays, bug our friends, and play a rousing game of Scrabulous before Facebook?"[16] Facebook eventually filed for an initial public offering on February 1, 2012, and was headquartered in Menlo Park, California.[2] Facebook Inc. began selling stock to the public and trading on the NASDAQ on May 18, 2012.[17] Based on its 2012 income of USD 5.1 Billion, Facebook joined the Fortune 500 list for the first time, being placed at position of 462 on the list published in May 2013.[18]
