Social networking 101 - Web 2.0 and social networks

23:12
The first, what we need here, focus is that social networking is not something new, nor it is defined the recent Web 2.0 craze in any way.
In fact, the whole concept of what Web 2.0 really means is so distorted that many marketers and Web designers now nothing use products and services which have aimed to do what Web 2.0 really means.
Also the ever-popular Wikipedia defines Web 2.0 as "the on creativity, cooperation and exchange between users to facilitate a perceived second-generation of Web-based communities and hosted services (such as social networking sites, wikis, blogs and logdata)". You'll notice that the term "perceived" one of the first words used is how much of what we have come to believe reality is based on our perception, but in truth social networking is far more than that.
To show that this Wikipedia further goes on to say; "Although the term suggests that it refers to a new version of the World Wide Web, not on an update technical specifications but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users use the Web." "Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry, caused by the transition to the Internet as a platform and an attempt, which are the rules for success in this new platform."
Summary of the last two statements from Wikipedia, you'll notice that social networking social networks and platforms are not nothing new. What new is and what means feed - in on the Web 2.0 craze, which has made many of these social networks recently that is so popular easy to use platform, which allows the user access to a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) graphical user interface to log, and report their favorite social networking sites.
Here again, the concept is not new. Social networks have since the early days of the Internet with bulletin boards, that later to the early days of now blogging and forums we call lead. She could book at that time, now your message to viewers as well as you can. The difference compared to social-networking today when using new WYSIWYG platform is that you can now easily add your own images, animations, videos, audios, squeeze pages (create for lead generation, to an e-Mail list), and surveys. Depending on the social networks that you join that stuttering are the possibilities compared to the "old way" of social networking online.
To show that this social networking and social networks are not by any means new I've done a little research, how far back to reveal that many of these websites go.
MySpace - Feb registered 22 1996
Friendster - 22 March 2002 registered
FaceBook - 29 March 1997 registered

Under this same concept in the Web 2.0 era the social-networking site have created a variety of video oriented social networks, but this is nothing new.
YouTube - 15 February 2005 registered
Badoo – 26 May 2003 registered
Bebo - 15 July 2003 registered
How can you use the video say YouTube was not the first social networking niche to start. While I have only two listed YouTube in my list were several other social networks that came together before they did. The one thing that has the creator of YouTube was better than all the others that came before them, actually TAKE be ACTION and using the social network experience, all the others trying to claim of experts.
I am sure that what they did to explore their niche, where they learned the same things I did was probably. The most social-networking site, trying their own ground to create social networks were not only their own sites for 1 or 2 years register. In fact, many of them are registered at least until 2010. Some of them are registered even further and have their own servers, only their social networking websites, to give different social networks, developed a better quality of service.
Why are they do this, you can provide? Since the advertising revenue for them alone brought so high is that they can away from him not. With millions and millions people world far on their Web sites 24 hours a day, they make similar money hand over fist, that the search engines were long before they came together.
This brings us to another point, let us take a look at the "big three"; Google, Yahoo and MSN, which focus on the social-networking sites, which came after them. Social networks since they occurred long before the search engines first decided to establish their "groups", but the people from the message boards and bring have in the mainstream here millions of visitors per day were literally was a no brainer. The transition was easy to predict, but this is due again, what I have said all the time. Social networking, social networks and what we now know as Web 2.0 are nothing new.
