Until 1987, when the Great Renaming took place, Usenet newsgroups were fairly unorganized. Their creation, Usenet, was the precursor to modern-day forums and launch in 1980.
The next major development in making the Internet a social place came from the minds of Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis in 1979. Usenet, CB Simulator, and AOL (1979-1995) Access to Plato Notes and Talkometric was limited to those who had access to PLATO, which was a generalized computer-assisted instruction system. For those who want to learn more, Woolley wrote an article in 1994 that explores in-depth PLATO’s place in history as a proto-internet. Personal Notes, Term-Talk, monitor mode, and Talkomatic would join Plato Notes and become the predecessors to email, instant messaging, and chat rooms, respectively.
Woolley’s first program for PLATO was Plato Notes, one of the first online message boards. Woolley created on PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operations) what may be the first online community. Instead of going through every social network ever created, we’re going to take a walk down memory lane and revisit some of the most notable innovations in social media technology. For every, Facebook there are hundreds of Orkuts.
Over the years, social media has taken the form of chat rooms, networking sites, and microblogging. However, social media has been around in some form since the beginning of the Internet. When we think of social media, we tend to list off the most popular sites of the moment.
