About Us.
Founded in 2001, Online Buddies, Inc. was created as a result of the evolution of personal advertisements. As people welcomed the change from newspaper ads to telephone chat rooms, they embraced the burgeoning phenomenon known as the Internet. Beginning with the launch of a Boston based site catering to the local gay community, Online Buddies, Inc. has expanded to serve the needs of our members across the globe.
No idea is too big, too small, too daunting or too trivial for our organization; We’re constantly adding new, exciting and innovative features to our product line! Whether the next big thing is scrawled on a white board or lunch napkin, our team never lets a creative moment pass by. And if you think you’ve got what it takes to innovate with us, we could always use some extra brain power here at our corporate headquarters.
Whether our innovations are sparked by our next newest team member, our CEO or our passionate member base, we continue reaching for the stars and bringing back industry-leading and trend-setting products to our communities. |

Social Responsibility.
As host of the world’s leading site for men to meet men, Online Buddies acknowledges the unique opportunity we possess to impact both the global community we serve as well as the world at large. We believe that with great success comes even greater responsibility. We proudly accept this obligation to promote acceptance of varying lifestyles, awareness of social injustice while also supporting international efforts to stop the spread of disease; including HIV/ AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Pioneering efforts to partner with local, State, Federal and International Health and Human Services organizations, we have accomplished unprecedented success through Internet Outreach; providing over 1.7 million MANHUNT.net users with accurate, easily accessible health-related information as well as immediate support for those seeking information, testing and treatment for a variety of issues.
Online Partner Notification
We are proud to have been an instrumental force in the creation of international guidelines for Online Partner Notification. This extremely effective anonymous notification process enables trained health care professionals to notify MANHUNT.net members of possible exposure to sexually transmitted diseases via the internet; formerly limited to less effective methods of communication.
