Nexopia was a Canadian social networking website created in 2003, by Timo Ewalds.[7] It was designed for ages 14 and up, but was later lowered to 13.[8] Users are able to create and design profiles, a friends list, blogs, galleries, and compose articles and forums. Interaction is accomplished through an internal personal messaging system, public user comments on profiles, blogs or through threads and posts on the forums. In November 2012, Nexopia was acquired by digital ad network Ideon Media.[9]
