  1. Social media has become an integral part of modern society In this article, we’ll review the history and evolution of social media from its humble beginnings to the present day.

  2. It was invented in 1979.Usernet let users post articles or posts.

  3. The first BBS came online in the late 70s. BBS were the first type of sites that allowed users to log on and interact with one another, albeit in a much slower fashion than we currently do.

  4. After BBs came “online services” like CompuServe and Prodigy. These were the first real “corporate” attempts at accessing the Internet

  5. RC (Internet Relay Chat) was developed in 1988 and used for file sharing, link sharing and otherwise keeping in touch.

  6. Forums remain a popular part of online culture, and many have made strides to add more social networking-type features (like profiles).

  7. LiveJournal started in 1999 and took a different approach to social networking. LiveJournal encouraged its users to follow one another and to create groups and otherwise interact. It was really the precursor to the live updates we see in social networks currently.

  8. Friendster was really the first modern, general social network. Founded in 2002, Friendster is still a very active social network

  9. MySpace differentiated itself from competitors by allowing users to completely customize the look of their profiles. Users could also post music from artists on MySpace and embed videos from other sites on their profiles.

  10. Can you guess which social network site is it?  

  11. Users can post notes that are visible to all of their friends. Users can also comment on or, more recently, “like” the posts of their friends, and conversations often occur within the comment sections among multiple people.

  12. Twitter has developed a cult-like following and has a number of famous users (Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Soleil Moon Frye, MC Hammer, Oprah, Martha Stewart, and many, many more).
