[1][5] The company was based in Dublin, Ireland, with offices in Palo Alto, CA, USA, and in Singapore.

[6] On SkillPages, members created a profile that displayed their skills through multimedia (images, videos and status updates).

[10] In March 2010 Taoiseach Brian Cowen, Prime Minister of Ireland, announced that Weedle had received funding of $4,000,000 to expand into the US and other global regions.

"Weedle’s internet platform is a shining example of world-class research and development being used to create innovative technology with global reach and appeal."

[13] In June 2011, Irish Government Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD, welcomed the launch of a new feature called "Opportunities" during the official opening of the company's newly expanded headquarters in Blackrock, County Dublin, Ireland.

[citation needed] Minister Bruton said: "Today I am delighted to see in SkillPages the great success that can come from a combination of government support, partnership with universities and innovative people.

"[citation needed] Referring to the new feature, MacDonald said that members can create an "Opportunity" detailing what skilled person they are looking for.

[citation needed] The new feature was the culmination of extensive research by the R&D team in SkillPages with the assistance of CLARITY, the joint University College Dublin, Trinity College and Dublin City University computer science research initiative funded by Science Foundation Ireland.

The top five skills on the platform were photographers, software engineers, graphic designers, signers and writers.

The company announced that it had raised $9.5 million in a Series B round of funding from previous investors, including the Irish VC firm ACT Venture Capital.

It consisted of feature improvements including a dedicated dashboard and owner area, the ability to add up to six skills, each with unique cover shots, photos, video, text updates and more.

[26] SkillPages aimed to create trusted networks using members' social connections, including Facebook, Google+ and email contacts.

The feature allowed people to join and log into SkillPages using their Google+ account across desktop, iOS and Android.
