In 1995, NewMedia Holdings, and its predecessor, began pioneering the development of online communities and “Geo-Domains”- names of countries and geographic locations – and other “verticals” relating to travel, business, sports, music and enthusiast activities. With our in-house teams, we created a host of applications including a suite of publishing, content management, community, membership, server administration tools, and eCommerce platforms. Our secret sauce was to create and operate vibrant online communities using social media and delivering B2B/B2C services. Our network attracted almost a billion visitors before broadband and social media became household words.
