Netlog (formerly known as Facebox and Bingbox) was a Belgian social networking service targeted at the global youth demographic.
On Netlog, members could create their own web page, meet new people, chat, play games, share videos and post blogs.
The site was founded and launched in 1999 under the name ASL.TO in Ghent, Belgium, by Lorenz Bogaert and Toon Coppens.
They also owned Twoo.com,[8] a free social discovery platform launched in 2011, and Stepout, an application for meeting new people nearby (relaunched in late 2013).
Netlog had a localization technology ensuring that all content is geotargeted and personalized to each member's profile.
