fubar is a social network launched in June–September 2005 as the first "online bar".[1] In October 2007, they teamed up with Jangl [2] to provide their members with the ability to call other members anonymously.

The site is for users 18 and older, and is free to use. Registered members initiate conversations through buying each other virtual drinks with "fubucks" earned through using the site. [3] Other features include the ability to buy a "Happy Hour" for the whole site (reducing drink costs for all members), file sharing, and the ability to ask the community as a whole for their opinions. [4]
