As I was doing some research for our group video, I came across and interesting article that examines how social networking has evolved. The author, Alan Tilghman looks as the rise and fall of some of the most popular social networking websites over the last 10 years. While the article was written in 2010, I think that the websites he mentions are still very relevant. He makes reference to the first social networking site in 2003 - almost 10 years ago! MySpace entered after, and it reigned supreme in 2007. hard to imagine that this was only 5 years ago (that really surprised me!) Of course, what comes after is history, since Facebook and Twitter have gained momentum and popularity since the downfall of MySpace. The author also created a great infographic that sorts all of the different social networking sites into categories, such as Pictures and Blog Platforms. I have attached the infographic, and a link to the original article which can be found here.
