- DontStayIn, commonly abbreviated to DSI, was a social networking site based around clubbing. Primarily covering the UK, it listed nearly 185,000 events, and at its peak had over five million verified members. Members were encouraged to upload picture galleries to the site for events they've attended, add events and venues and otherwise contribute. "Spotters" were DSI members who reviewed and photographed events. The site was also ranked continuously from April 2006 to December 2008 in the top 3 websites in the UK on Hitwise in the "Entertainment - Nightlife" category. The format of the site allowed any user to add event listings, post comments and upload photos from anywhere in the world. DSI members were known for their loyalty to and promotion of the site. Many users had also commented favourably about the site and its impact on their lives when it is mentioned by reviewers. DSI users (often referred to "DSIers"), also used DontStayIn to set up events and user-groups to promote the meeting up of DSIers in real life. In November 2006 DSI was reportedly used to organise what has been described as the biggest flash mob ever in Paddington Station, London, UK. In 2005, DSI was featured in a documentary made by Juniper TV as part of Channel 4's "Trouble Online" series that profiled new media enterprises that have been set up by young entrepreneurs. On 14 April 2009, DontStayIn Ltd was acquired for an undisclosed sum by , the publishers of The Word and Mixmag. In December 2012 DontStayIn was taken over by Love Socio Ltd, a subsidiary company of Web Giants Ltd., and the website was revamped the following year. Both the main website and the associated Facebook page ceased being updating in mid-2016. (en)
