Taringa! (stylized in all-caps as TARINGA![1]) was an Argentine-based social networking site geared toward Hispanophone users.

Taringa! consists of a 27 million registered user base, according with Taringa's own metrics[2][clarification needed] who create and share thousands of daily posts on general interest topics such as: life hacks, tutorials, recipes, reviews, and art.

The platform has a presence in every country in the Spanish-speaking world – its main markets are Argentina, Spain, Colombia and Chile. According to comScore statistics in 2013,[3] it was the fourth most popular Latin American Social Network and the second one in traffic only after Facebook,[4] since then the site's traffic has dramatically declined, dropping up to the 3898th place in the Alexa Ranking on December 30, 2020.[5]
