Profileheaven was a re-launch of a previous social networking site formed March 2004. Its brand change jumpstarted the traffic flow to the site and lead to its eventual winning of the 2005 UK "Website of the Year" contest[2] in the community site category and overall winner for 2006. The website currently has approximately 250,000 members[3], many of which are from the UK, in particular Scotland and northern England with some from the United States, Australia and the rest of the world.
As many other social networking sites provide, each user can create a profile and blog about themselves. Users can link these profiles together to form a linked friend network. Other notable features are web forums, unlimited photo galeries, video, live video chat, flash games and a points ranking system.
The website has also won Website of the Year 2006, see Website of the Year awards 2006
