In 2005, Pete Cashmore launched Mashable from his home in Scotland. The website expanded due to Cashmore’s commitment to regularly delivering high-quality content. His early writing efforts were particularly fortuitous, earning Mashable a spot among Time Magazine’s top 25 blogs worldwide in 2009.
Since that accolade, Mashable has significantly grown in both size and influence, with a notable emphasis on social media. The company successfully attracts a large audience across various platforms, including Facebook and Twitter. Its primary source of revenue comes from advertising, presented in multiple formats.
