A brief history of social networking
It has been only a few short years since the terms "social networking" and "social media" first entered our vocabulary.In fact, social networking, which was originally designed as a simple and entertaining way to share interests, photos and other personal information, has grown into a technological and social revolution. The history of social media is one of rapid growth, which has only accelerated as social networking sites have become more common and accessible.
The first e-mail1971
• Social networking was born one day in 1971, when the first email was sent. The two computers were sitting right next to each other. The message said “qwertyuiop’.
1990s The 1990s and the Boom
• The World Wide Web built real momentum through the '80s and early '90s, but social media as we know it emerged only in 1994, with the introduction of
Geocities, a tool that helped individuals to create and manage a website ’.
1997 Messenger• A few years later, AOL Instant
Messenger and Six Degrees.com launched in 1997. Instant messaging was born, giving users the freedom to chat with friends, and create a profile. AOL was probably the true precursor to today’s social networking sites.
• The member profiles allowed its users to write a biography and share details about themselves. The profiles were searchable so people could look your profile up. It was the most innovative feature at that time.
2002
• The first modern social networking site that we define today is Friendster.
• In the first 3 months, Friendster was able to amass 3,000,000 users. This means 1 in 126 web users were Friendster members at the time
2003
• Soon MySpace followed suit, who cloned Friendster. It was launched after only 10 days of coding. It soon became more popular than Friendster.
• MySpace gave users more freedom than Friendster
• It garnered 90 million registered users–and even if it is no longer the top networking site in the world, it is still a favorite in the USA.
In Spain
2002
Fotolog is a Web 2.0-based shared photoblog web site. With over 30 million registered users, it is one of the oldest and largest sites for sharing pictures through online photo diaries or photo blogs.
2006• Tuenti is a Spain-based,
invitation-only private social networking website for students and young people, that has been referred to as the "Spanish Facebook." The name comes from "tu enti[dad]," meaning "your identity." ….14 million users
2004
• Facebook came into the social networking scene a little bit later. It was launched in 2004, and the primary intent was to connect US college students.
• Facebook first began with Mark Zuckerberg’s alma mater Harvard. At first it was exclusive, and you could only join in if you had been invited by a member of Facebook.
• The ‘exclusive’ feature proved to be a success, and in its first month, over half of the 19,500 Harvard students signed up. Two years later, the campus-only networking site became open to the public.
2006
• Twitter is an online social networking service and microblogging service that enables its users to send and read text-based messages of up to 140 characters, known as "tweets".
• It was created in March 2006 The service rapidly gained worldwide popularity, with over 500 million registered users as of 2012, generating over 340 million tweets daily
In the end the question is…
• Do social media, in any way, make us healthier or at least happier?
