Social networking website Tagged allows users to express their creativity and become connected with new people from around the world. Through the use of skins, photos, and videos, Tagged members can make their profiles distinctive. To find and communicate with new people, users can search for other Tagged members who share their same interests. In this way, Tagged encourages and enables members to discover new friends as well as stay in touch with old ones.

Tagged was founded in 2004 by San Francisco, California-based entrepreneurs Johann Schleier-Smith and Greg Tseng. Both Harvard graduates, Johann Schleier-Smith and Greg Tseng have years of experience in the creation of online businesses. Tagged received an investment of $7 million the year after its establishment and has continued to grow since then.

In addition to having customizable profiles, Tagged users can share YouTube videos, message each other through a Meebo widget, and participate in live chat rooms and games. Tagged utilizes the Zend Platform code to create new applications and services, share them with users, and receive feedback in rapid, efficient cycles. These and other innovative features keep Tagged in touch with its expanding user base.
