Bebo

Although Myspace was around first, when bebo made it's launch in 2005 it quickly began to overtake it becoming more popular in Ireland than in the UK where people still leaned towards Myspace.
Bebo came about when Michael and Californian Xochi Birch met in a london pub. They were married and after a few years had invented three social networking sites.

 Bebo, like Myspace is used by over 23m around the world and provides these users with a page of their own, on which they can post how they're feeling, music videos they like, pictures and comments on their friends pages.It was made for talking to friends and  'if you use Bebo to bully, Xochi says sternly, 'your account will be cancelled'.

 Bebo in Ireland peaked from 2008-2010 but  people began deleting their accounts and switching to the more popluar Facebook around the end of 2010. The Birches still own the firm of bebo, paying themselves 'below average' salaries, and reportedly resisting $100m offers to sell. Although it is now less popluar than it has been in recent years, bebo is still used by people in different countries all around the world.
