History

President and Founder Jonathan C. Soo started Agora as a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the dawn of the commercial World Wide Web. Agora quickly became a leading resource for technology companies and publications looking to establish a presence on the Internet. Agora's METACAST content management system provides a solution for technology companies to streamline their internal publishing needs as well as a platform for startup online-only publications to take on print-focused publishers 100 times their size while revolutionizing the industry.

Since then, Agora has developed a set of tools, applications and techniques that has allowed it to respond quickly to the technological and social evolution of the Internet. While Agora's focus remains on developing innovative content management and publishing systems, it has gradually expanded that focus to include user generated content and social networking applications.
