About
TheGlobe.com was one of the earliest social networking sites, founded in 1994 by Cornell students Stephan Paternot and Todd Krizelman. The company held the then-record-breaking IPO of 1998, with its stock price rising 606% on opening day. Despite the spectacular debut, TheGlobe.com struggled to monetize its user base and collapsed along with the dot-com bubble, eventually delisting from Nasdaq in 2001. The domain has since been repurposed and the company no longer operates in its original form.
