Dcard is an online social media and networking platform based in Taiwan. The platform was first created by Kytu Lin, then-sophomore at National Taiwan University, and other students in 2011 in its web version.[1] Initially positioned as a networking service dedicated for college students,[2] users of the service are presented with a ‘Friend of the Day’ profile card every midnight, which gave inspiration to the name ‘Dcard’ where the initial D is an abbreviation of ‘Destiny’.[3]
The service rapidly gained popularity across local universities, soon leading the founding team to roll out discussion-driven community forum services in 2012. In October 2015, Dcard Taiwan Ltd. was officially established with its headquarters based in Taipei, Taiwan.[4]
As of November 2022, Dcard claims to be the most influential social media platform among young Taiwanese with over 6 million members and is frequented by more than 18 million unique visitors each month.[5][6] Since 2018, the company has been expanding its services to new markets worldwide including Hong Kong, Macau and Japan[7] under the name ‘Dtto’.[8]
