Our History > Like a fairy tale >
One or two things may have changed since the early days, back in August 1997, of our web-debut with The Homeboy Media/Digital Group on the Microsoft's MSN Communities then named MSN Groups.

Founded by three friends who had a common vision: to share their passion for life with the global community. Their blend of idealism, practicality, skills and culture soon translated into a very simple concept and formula. They called it The Homeboy E-Zine. And it became a huge success! Available only to subscribed members, Homeboy Media/Digital Group, an Award Winning Group, achieved a total membership of more than 36,500 global active members and was ranking among top five places according to the MSN Activity Level Report published weekly.  

Soon, other dedicated theme groups were created by our sussessfull team, so a small "Homeboy Group of MSN Groups" was formed reaching a total membership of more than 60,000 active global members. A truely innovative group of friends worldwide. MSN Groups were finally closed in February 2009. Among our major achievements was the establishment of International Exclusive Cooperations, not only with world-wide famous artists, such as Kobi of Israel, Henning-Von-Berg from Germany and Iolaos from Greece, but also with highly esteemed Institutions such as the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts of San Francisco, USA and The National Aids Trust, United Kingdom (NAT/UK).

In April 2003, we formed The HomeboyNet and our own website was launched on the net. Today Homeboy Media Network is the successor to our top ranking and highly successful MSN Groups. History coupled with brilliant excellence!

With our solid know-how and experience gained, in May 2006 we expanded our network to WordPress.com and a brand new group of blogs was formed. Our flagship, Homeboy Media News blog, today counts more than 1,268,000 unique visitors since May 2006. Our other blogs [namely "A web (not paper) Magazine", "Mon Cahier", "Hellenic Light", "Metropolis du Monde" and "Christmas Spirit"] count more than 1,326,000 unique visitors all together. However, most of our blogs have been moved to their own domain name since April 2008. 

Today we operate a family of blogs and web sites, all managed under our brand, The Homeboy Media Network. We aim to enhance both our Network and content as we further move on. HMN is published by Grhomeboy, our Founder and CEO and edited by the HMN Team.
