In early 2008, the team released a tool that allowed anyone to input ages, genders and/or countries of a particular target audience and get a sense of how many people fit into each rung on the ladder.

I didn’t really know what it was, what it would sell exactly, or who would buy it, but the concept felt right. Paid advertising on social media was still 4 years away.
