Softpedia is an Internet site that indexes information and provides software. The site also covers technology, science, health, and entertainment topics from external and in-house sources and provides software and game reviews. As of 2012[update] it was the 25th most-visited site by Romanians.[2][3] Like Download.com, it is a "popular destination for software downloads".[4]
It is owned by SoftNews NET SRL., a Romanian company.[3] Although it is of Romanian ownership, the Web site caters to English speakers.[1] In 2006, 95% of revenue came from outside Romania; by 2007 it had 3.5 million visitors per week and most were from abroad.[5]
