Social Networks A
Social networking, in a larger sense, started to structure the relationships/ connections that were already being sustained online via email, comments, guestbook posts, and various decentralized means. With this structure came a new layer of functionality and prosperity for the Internet ecosystem. In short, in many ways it was the best thing since sliced email.
This module discusses the rise and fall of MySpace, the growth of Facebook from a niche-work and other smaller social networks.
