Taringa!
Taringa! (stylized in all-caps as TARINGA!) was an Argentine-based social networking site geared toward Hispanophone users.
Taringa! had a 27 million registered user base, according with Taringa's own metrics, who create and share thousands of daily posts on general interest topics such as life hacks, tutorials, recipes, reviews, and art.
The platform had a presence in every country in the Spanish-speaking world – its main markets were Argentina, Spain, Colombia, and Chile. According to comScore statistics in 2013, it was the fourth most popular Latin American Social Network and the second one in traffic only after Facebook, since then the site's traffic has dramatically declined, dropping up to the 3898th place in the Alexa Ranking on December 30, 2020.
Taringa! was created in 2004 by Fernando Sanz (Cypher). The initial version of the website could not sustain its rapid growth and was quickly sold to Alberto Nakayama and the Botbol brothers, Matías and Hernán.
In February 2012, an article by Wired listed Taringa! as one of the foreign sites that "outshine Facebook", stating "there are still places where an also-ran or a homegrown alternative beats out the global hegemonies".
In September 2017, Taringa! suffered a database breach when almost 28 million database entries were leaked.
In 2019, it was acquired by blockchain company IOV Labs.
The website announced on March 11, 2024 that it would shut down from March 24, due to changing trends in social media platforms and the difficulty of monetizing in such an environment. Much of the user base had migrated to Reddit.
