3. Early social networking websites started in the form of generalized online communities such as The WELL (1985), Theglobe.com (1994), Geocities (1994) and Tripod (1995). These early communities focused on bringing people together to interact with each other through chat rooms, and share personal information and ideas around any topics via personal homepage publishing tools which were a precursor to the blogging phenomenon. Some communities took a different approach by simply having people link to each other via email addresses. These sites included Classmates.com (1995), focusing on ties with former school mates, and SixDegrees.com (1997), focusing on indirect ties HISTORY SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING SOCIAL NETWORKING
4. The internet service was started in Bangladesh through a small private initiative sometime in late 1993. Another private organization came with a bulletin board service (BBS) with Internet e-mails and newsgroups in late 1994 that attracted many subscribers because of its good price package. There was demand from all quarters for BTTB to start VSAT or X.25 lines for Internet and data entry services. But BTTB was not willing. Bangladesh was fortunate that it got three dynamic leaders in the cabinet of the three months' neutral caretaker government formed to conduct the National Assembly election from April to June 1996.
