Face-pic (formerly at http://face-pic.com) was a social networking website, which at one time had almost two and a half million subscribers. The website draws a large number of its users from 16-24 year-olds in the United Kingdom.
The site was created by friends Dave Ames and Mark Bruce in Stevenage in Dec 1999. A second version of the site followed quickly in November 2001.
The site fell into financial difficulties and was bought by Symbios Group in October of 2008 as part of a bid to build a social networking user base with other social sites including http://profileheaven.com and http://faces.com to be relaunched under the faces brand giving the company around 1.5M members.
Some of the original user base transferred to http://faces.com that is now relaunching as a free dating site.
