MyYearbook

MyYearbook was a social networking website launched in the mid-2000s that aimed to recreate the experience of a high school yearbook in an online environment. Users could create profiles, upload photos, post status updates, and connect with other members through private messages and interactive features such as a questions system.

The service was particularly popular among teenagers and young adults, offering a simple, youth-oriented interface with privacy options and tools intended to facilitate casual dating and friendships, as well as yearbook-style pages where users could leave comments.

In 2011, MyYearbook was acquired by MeetMe, Inc. and the site’s functionality was absorbed into MeetMe’s platform. The MyYearbook brand was gradually phased out as features were merged into MeetMe’s mobile app and website, and the standalone site ceased to operate as an independent service in the following years.

The MyYearbook model highlighted an early trend in social networks toward profile-based, image-centric interaction among younger users and contributed to the evolution of mobile-first social platforms, even as it operated in a competitive landscape dominated by larger networks such as Facebook and specialized sites like Classmates.com.
