Draugiem is a social networking website launched in 2004. It is the largest social networking website in Latvia with approx. 2.6 million registered users.[2] The website plays an important role in the everyday life of internet users in Latvia, and is frequently used as a communication tool instead of e-mail.
The Draugiem social network operates under the Draugiem Group, an umbrella organisation that is home to many IT related companies, which have developed under the wings of the social network.[3]
