History of Social Networking....
The first social networking sites were emerged nearl around 1990s. According to my research there were few websites named Yahoo!Geocities and Tripod.com which were a web hosting , Used to bring people together to meet with each other. People often used this things during those days . But after few years in 1997 Andrew Weinreich's company MacroView bought Six degrees , the first social site . This site had a web of contacts created by several users. People made it so popular but it declined in 2001 as less than 2% of the world's population used it .
It inspired a lot of other companies also . After 2001 social sites like Friendster , LinkedIn and Facebook also emerged . Friendster was a platform that came up in 2002 , here people gradually met new people over the internet and this was used by gradually many as the users of internet also grew in number . There was another site which came called MySpace , it became much popular than Friendster . MySpace was controlled by eUniverse which had a large user base and this became the reason for its popularity .
But out of all Facebook which was founded by Mark Zuckerberg on 4 February,2004 . It changed the picture of whole networking community and the whole world . During the early days Facebook was thefacebook which had profiles of mainly university or high school students. But with Facebook , MySpace which was also making name but because of its outdated design and very weird features which were not liked by many people , it also declined .
Gradually Facebook became very popular. Facebook first was like a college directory , it showed the information of students and their background . Facebook made a strategy and focused on spreading user made content on it . After it platforms like Twitter(2006) , Snapchat(2011) , Pinterest(2010) , Instagram (2010 itself by Facebook) became very popular .
Twitter was having a unique idea . Her people used to write something of 140 characters called "tweets" which was like blogging . It became very popular as people saw many things inside it noticeable .The no.of users increased rapidly . In 2007, people used # or hashtags in their tweets it turned in to hyperlinks next year . Then in 2010 Twitter introduced a trending section where the # trending were displayed . From her people used to get to know about m,any trending topics and their related informations in the feeds . In this way the platforms became a source of daily news for peoples . The social networking sites have generated a lot of revenue from this and then they were able to provide more services like live broadcasting or stories services or affording huge databases and more security services .
Along with it many other social sites also made a very good name. Nowadays along with facebook , sites like LinkedIn a business social media , Reddit have also got a boost to them . In the year 2003 LinkedIn and Wordpress realeased . But youtube which was founde on 2005 has also emerged as a extraordinary social media with having more than 1 billion users and 300 hours of videos are uploaded in a minute . Youtube has become a major source of entertainment and knowledge gaining . Hence it cant be totally termed as a social media but here also we get to see videos from different people or groups .
