Glogster was launched in December 2007 and Glogster EDU in October 2009. Since its founding, Glogster has experienced rapid growth and now has users in more than 200 countries and territories. Even though the portal is targeted primarily at young people, many of the users are aged 25 or over. At present, there are over 10.4 million Glogs and over 8 million Gloggers on the website.
At the time of its establishing Glogster was inspired partly by classic paper posters and generally by the worldwide poster pop-culture of teenagers. At that time boring and “orthogonal” internet was another inspiration. The objective was to enable unlimited creative self-expression.
Glogster is a social network that allows users to create free interactive posters, or glogs. Aglog, short for graphical blog, is an interactive multimedia image. It looks like a poster, but readers can interact with the content. Glogster was founded in 2007. Currently this social network has over one million registered users. The majority of the Glogster community are teenagers.
Glogster provides an environment to design interactive posters. The user inserts text, images, photos, audio (MP3), videos, special effects and other elements into their glogs to generate a multimedia online creation. Glogster is based on flash elements. Posters can be shared with other users on the site, embedded in external wikis or blogs, and shared via many social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Glogs can also be exported and saved to computer-compatible formats.
