History Of Social Media

The first recognizable social media site, Six Degrees, was created in 1997. It enabled users to upload a

profile and make friends with other users. In 1999, the first blogging sites became popular, creating a social media sensation that’s still popular today.

After the invention of blogging, social media began to explode in popularity. Sites like

MySpace and LinkedIn gained prominence in the early 2000s, and sites like Photobucket and Flickr facilitated online photo sharing.

YouTube came out in 2005, creating an entirely new way for people to communicate

and share with each other across great distances.

By 2006, Facebook and Twitter both became available to users throughout the world. These sites remain some of the most popular social networks on the

Internet. Other sites like Tumblr, Spotify, Foursquare and Pinterest began popping up to fill specific social

networking niches.
