Focus.com was a business focused social networking platform[1] and source of technology expertise.[2] By September 2010, it comprised over 850,000 Members and 5,000 Business Experts.[3] Focus members could freely access expert research in diverse areas such as Information Technology, Sales, Marketing, Operations, Small Business,[4] and Human Resources. Members also could get their business questions answered by experts in the community in the site's Q & A and Virtual Summit sections.[2]

The company was founded in August 2005 by Scott Albro and was headquartered in San Francisco, California.[citation needed]

The company was purchased by Ziff Davis, Inc. in August 2011[5] and its location at Focus.com has since been terminated.
