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 with Taringa's own metrics, who create and share 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 one in traffic only after Facebook, since then the site's traffic has dramatically declined, dropping up to the 3898th place in the Alexa Ranking on December 30, 2020.
