The idea for Taggle began developing about three years ago. After conferring with one of his academic mentors, Dr. Clay Jones at Biola University, Dan McCarthy recognized the need for a company that would use the web and social media to strengthen the Church and serve its members. Drawing on his network of business associates and friends within the Church, Dan built a team of technologists and managers to bring Taggle to market. The TaggleWorld site was beta-tested from November 2008 through March of 2009, and went live in April of 2009.
