DaniWeb is an online message board for technologists and computer programmers founded in 2002 by Dani Wolkowicki (née Horowitz). DaniWeb's business networking tool utilizes Wolkowicki's patents which claims an exclusive right to match social network users based on their chat behavior. [1]
In 2007, DaniWeb community administrator Davey Winder broke the story that TomTom GPS devices came from a factory infected with a virus. A number of news outlets picked up the story and ultimately forced TomTom to admit the faux pas.[2]
In 2008, Google awarded DaniWeb with its Enterprise Superstar award.[3]
In 2015, internet security service Have I Been Pwned? reported that DaniWeb suffered a data breach that resulted in the disclosure of over 1 million accounts including email and IP addresses.[4][5]
Google Panda
[edit]In 2011, DaniWeb was initially cited in an article at Search Engine Land as one of the top 100 domains to suffer losses by the Google Panda algorithm.[6]
SEO news outlets such as Search Engine Land, Search Engine Watch,[7][8] Web Pro News,[9][10] and SEO industry outlets[11] published DaniWeb's successes and failures within their Google Panda coverage.
