History[edit]
Ology was founded by Beth Haggerty and Vivian Moran in June 2008.[3] It consists of daily updated news trends, original editorial content, interviews, reviews, recaps, and user communities related to TV, film, music, celebrities, fashion, geek culture, humor, politics, and sports.[4] Since the social platform was released to the public in early 2012, significant communities have developed around groups for fans of Supernatural (TV Series), Being Human, X-Files, Darren Criss, Carrie Underwood, Tom Felton, and Austin Mahone, among others.
Impact[edit]
In May 2011, Ology ranked number 1 in growth on comScore.[5] Ology has been cited by The American Spectator,[6] The Austin Chronicle,[7] and MTV News.[8] In April 2012, Geek Sugar highlighted Ology for its "hilarious, tongue-in-cheek news stories, viral videos, and trends," and Business Insider featured the website in December for its commercial potential as a social media website. In February 2013, a shifting focus to OogLyfe was noticed by several users, but when asked for an official statement Ology declined.
Publisher Network[edit]
Ology Media runs The Ology Publisher network, reaching 22.5 million users.[9]
