The History of Social Networking

 

Most attribute the creation of reality television, web cams, video sharing, and even social networking to a girl by the name of Jennifer Ringley. Ringley produced the first web cam show in 1996 in a phenomenon almost like the movie, The Truman Show. Millions of viewers watched as she shared all aspects of her life. It is said that television shows like, The Survivor, gained their concepts from her. However it would influence one website to be created not long after by the name of sixdegrees.com, that would begin social networking.

Since the launch of sixdegrees.com, the internet has been redefined by users beginning to use websites as a mode of interaction and not just observation. According to Wikipedia ,

"SixDegrees.com was a social network service website that lasted from 1997 to 2001 and was based on the Web of Contacts model of social networking. It was named after the six degrees of separation concept and allowed users to list friends, family members and acquaintances both on the site and externally; external contacts were invited to join the site."

From that point on, more and more websites begun to emerge. Social media would begin to take on many forms such as: 

video sharing

photo sharing

livecasting

wikis

microblogs

opinion websites

audio and music sharing

social news

events

social networking

 

 

Creating Success With Your Social Networking Website

It seems almost everyone has a website or a blog these days. However what has really made the difference between the successful ones are the failures:

  1. Having a unique idea or niche
  2. Creating something that is useful
  3. Building something that is user friendly 
  4. Visual appeal
  5. How are people going to find the website???
All of the points discussed are extremely important. But the fact remains you must build quality and then you must be able to spread your idea. You must answer the question of how people are going to find you?
