Taringa! (stylized in all-caps as TARINGA!) was an Argentine-based social networking site geared toward Hispanophone users.
Taringa! had a 27 million registered user base, according to its own metrics, who created and shared thousands of daily posts on general interest topics such as life hacks, tutorials, recipes, reviews, and art.
The platform had a presence in every country in the Spanish-speaking world – its main markets were Argentina, Spain, Colombia, and Chile. According to comScore statistics in 2013, it was the fourth most popular Latin American social network and the second in traffic after Facebook. From 2015 onward, the site's traffic gradually declined.
