Overview

Alexa internet ranked Menéame.net as Spain's 179th most popular site as of February 2016.[2] Its name derives from the verb menear (Spanish for "to wiggle, shake or move") and means "shake me" or "move me".

In February, 2016, Ricardo Galli founder and CEO announced he was going to leave the company.[3] In this moment, Meneame's management is taken by Remo Domingo, director of the consultant firm iAsesoría and former financial manager of Menéame in last years, and Daniel Seijo, founder of the startup investment company Civeta Investment SA. In this way, Martín Varsavsky continues being main shareholder.
