Launched as a social networking site in 2000, the current iteration of MiGente.com is an online niche social-networking site targeted especially for the Hispanic community.[1][2] Its former parent company, Community Connect Inc., claimed that MiGente.com was the fastest growing English language site for the Hispanic community with over 3 million registered members[3]. Members come from a variety of Hispanic backgrounds.[3].

In February 2007, the site partnered with Si TV to launch new channels on the site[3]. The collaboration identified and promoted emerging music artists via Si TV's monthly sweepstakes.

MiGente.com was owned by Community Connect Inc. until April 2008, when Radio One paid $38 million for New York-based Community Connect, which operated a number of branded Web sites, including BlackPlanet, MiGente and AsianAvenue.Prior to selling of properties, Community Connect claimed about 23 million users. Community Connect Inc. pioneered urban social networks through the creation of brands such as BlackPlanet and MiGente.
