The inauguration of Linqia

It's no coincidence Linqia incorporated on July 4th 2007 and officially launches its beta site January 20th 2009 - the historical day where the world celebrates the inauguration of the 44th President Barack Obama.

Politics aside. The Linqia site is live!

You'll now be able to access Group Feed where you can track the activity of your Facebook public groups (we'll be adding more platforms as we go along), The Moderator Community - a gateway for community managers, moderators, leaders and enthusiasts jam packed with 100's of resources, groups and jobs, and Linqia Labs for developers to access the deep data we mine, organize and make available to build powerful new tools that to date are not possible.

Last year we launched a search engine indexing 1,000's of communities and groups mainly from XING, ecademy, LiveJournal, SixGroups, Viadeo, Meetup, Raising Them and more. Many people signed up as members and added their groups to the index. You can still access the Linqia Group Directory and find interesting online groups to visit where people gather around a special interest topic.

It's still early days where we've only scratched the surface of what we want to achieve with Linqia. There are billions of conversations hidden deep in the web. Today there are over 2,000 community platforms, 40 million groups and 250 million people who frequent these places. Our mission is to share as much value with the data we uncover and the relationships we form with people, businesses and developers.
