DESCRIPTION OF THEGLOBE.COM
 
theglobe.com, inc. (the “Company” or “theglobe”) was incorporated on May 1, 1995 (inception) and commenced operations on that date.  Originally, theglobe.com was an online community with registered members and users in the United States and abroad.  However, due to the deterioration of the online advertising market, the Company was forced to restructure and ceased the operations of its online community on August 15, 2001.  The Company then sold most of its remaining online and offline properties.  The Company continued to operate its Computer Games print magazine and the associated CGOnline website, as well as the e-commerce games distribution business of Chips & Bits.  On June 1, 2002, Chairman Michael S. Egan and Director Edward A. Cespedes became Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, respectively.  On November 14, 2002, the Company entered into the Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) business by acquiring certain VoIP assets.
 
On May 9, 2005, the Company exercised an option to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Tralliance Corporation (“Tralliance”), an entity which had been designated as the registry for the “.travel” top-level domain through an agreement with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”).
 
As more fully discussed in Note 3, “Discontinued Operations,” in March 2007, management and the Board of Directors of the Company made the decision to (i) cease all activities related to its computer games businesses, including discontinuing the operations of its magazine publications, games distribution business and related websites; and (ii) discontinue the operating, research and development activities of its VoIP telephony services business and terminate all of the remaining employees of that business.
 
On September 29, 2008, the Company sold its Tralliance business and issued 229,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to a company controlled by Michael S. Egan, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  As a result of the sale of its Tralliance business, the Company became a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934) with no material operations or assets.  Certain matters, as more fully discussed in Note 2, “Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations,” raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries from their respective dates of acquisition. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information Policy [Policy Text Block]
UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2015 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 included herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2015 and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year or for any future period.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions relate primarily to valuations of accounts payable and accrued expenses. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based upon available information and experience. Because of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]
NET INCOME PER SHARE
 
The Company reports basic and diluted net income per common share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share."  Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common equivalent shares are excluded from the calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive.
 
Due to the anti-dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities or common stock equivalents that could be issued, such securities were excluded from the diluted net loss per common share calculation for all periods presented. Such potentially dilutive securities and common stock equivalents consisted of the following for the periods ended September 30:
  
 
 
2015
 
2014
 
Options to purchase common stock
 
 
100,000
