1 mar 2002 ano - SOCIAL NETWORKS

Descrição:

Description: A website that allows people with similar interests to come together and share information, photos, and videos. People engaged in social networking may be doing so as a personal or a business endeavor.

History: Many social networking sites were created in the 1990s. Some examples include Six Degrees, BlackPlanet, Asian Avenue, and MoveOn. These are, or have been, online niche social sites where people can interact, including sites for public policy advocacy and a social network based on a web of contacts model. In addition, blogging services such as Blogger and Epinions were created. Epinions is a site where consumers can read or create reviews of products. ThirdVoice and Napster were two software applications created in the 90s that have since been removed from the market. ThirdVoice was a free plug-in that allowed users to post comments on webpages. Opponents of the software argued that comments were often vulgar or slanderous. Napster was a software application that allowed peer-to-peer file sharing. Users were allowed to share music files bypassing normal distribution methods, which in the end was determined to be a violation of copyright laws.

In 2000 social media received a great boost with the witnessing of many social networking sites springing up. This highly boosted and transformed the interaction of individuals and organizations who share common interest in music, education, movies, and friendship, based on social networking. Among those that were launched included LunarStorm, six degrees, cyworld, ryze, and Wikipedia. In 2001, fotolog, sky blog and Friendster were launched, and in 2003, MySpace, LinkedIn, lastFM, tribe.net, Hi5 etc. In 2004, popular names like Facebook Harvard, Dogster and Mixi evolved. During 2005, big names like Yahoo!360, YouTube, cyword, and Black planet all emerged.

Special Features: Social network marketing is an integral part of every company and individual. These platforms not only help our business to grow in new horizons but also help an individual to grow personal network and establish authority.

Uses: The entire point of social network is a way to bring internet users together. Before the invention of the concept, the internet was just one vast “planet” of sorts that everyone navigated alone. Social networks allow you to keep in touch with family and friends all over the world.
