6. History of Social Media
 The first social media site that everyone can agree actually was a website called
Six Degrees. It was named after the ‘six degrees of sepration theory and lasted
from 1997 to 2001. Six Degrees allowed users to create a profile and then make
friend with other users. Six Degrees even allowed those who didn’t register as
users to confirm friendships and connected quite a few people this way.
 From Six Degrees, the internet moved into the era of blogging and instant
messaging. Although blogging may not seem like social media precisely, the term
fits because people were suddenly able to communicate with a blog other
instantly as well as other readers. The term “blog” is a form of the phrase
“Weblog” which was coined by Jorn Barger, an early blogger that was the editor
of the site “Robot Wisdom.”

7.  In 2004, Mark Zuckerberg launched what would soon become the social
media giant that would set the bar for all other social media services.
Facebook is the number one social media website today and it currently
boasts over a billion users.
 However, back in 2004, Facebook (TheFacebook.com then) was launched
just for Harvard students. Zuckerberg saw the potential and released the
service to the world at the website facebook.com.
 In 2006, the popularity of text messaging or SMS inspired Jack Dorsey, Biz
Stone, Noah Glass and Evan Williams to create Twitter, a service that had
the unique distinction of allowing users to send “tweets”o 140 characters
or less. Today, Twitter has over 500 million users.

search tools to find people with similar interests to me. For example:

- Academic

personal information with strangers.

should learn to check to be sure that their privacy settings have not changed.
