ABOUT US
IRC-Galleria (Finnish for "IRC gallery") is the largest social networking website in Finland. It was founded in December 2000 by Tomi Lintelä as a photo gallery for the Finnish users of Internet Relay Chat (IRC). As of December 2008, IRC-Galleria has over 500,000 registered users and 8.5 million images. Over 90% of the users are active users who use the service on a weekly basis. Despite the sites roots nowadays less than 20% of the users have identified themselves as actual users of IRC.
IRC-Galleria is officially open to anyone who is over 12 years old and speaks Finnish. Most of the users are aged between 13 and 22, with the mean age being about 20 years.
IRC-Galleria is now maintained and developed by Dynamoid Oy, a company founded solely for running IRC-Galleria. The service is financed with advertising, SMS-based services, T-shirts and optional VIP privileges. Sulake Corporation acquired Dynamoid Oy in April 2007.
Today IRC-Galleria operates in several countries in Europe eg. in Russia, Estonia and Germany.
