FanPop is a is a network of fan clubs to stay up to date with current affairs. The internet is getting bigger everyday which means finding out about what you’re interested in can become very time consuming. Fanpop simplifies that by gathering together all of this information into a one stop resource for everyone. Fanpop is simply a large network of fan sites which are created by users. These fan sites are all created on different topics and subjects. They are then maintained by the same community. Each fan site has its own features and can work as an independent site. The features include pictures, forums and videos to name but a few.

FanPop was founded by Dave Lu and David Papandrew in February 2006. The company is based in California, USA.

Unlike other fan sites that are devoted to one subject this site brings together fan sites on many different subjects. This means that you can easily use this site to find out whatever you want to as quickly as possible.

The application is quite attractive and simple to use. It’s all split up into separate sections which make finding the right page as easy as possible. It’s also possible to search for certain subjects or shows to find fan sites devoted to them. Each fan site is a separate community with unique content. There are videos, forums and discussions on each separate subject.

You can read the content without registering but if you want to contribute then you will first need to sign up and register for an account. This is a very easy signup form that doesn’t take very long. You must be over 13 years old to sign up but they don’t even ask your age, you just have to promise that you are. Once you have completed that step you will then have the option of filling in a slightly more longwinded registration form that includes your personal details. This is optional and you can skip it if you want. Once you have finished that you are automatically signed in and you do not have to confirm your email address.

FanPop is completely free to use and is supported by adverts.

Fanpop could be useful for anyone that wants to subscribe to fan sites and get all of their information from one place rather than having to continually visit other sites. FanPop is easy to use and worth a visit for fans of TV shows, music or films. Fanpop is missing biographies, discographies and other basic information.
