1997-Six Degrees
—this site,six degrees ,allowed users to make their own personalize profiles but to communicate with other users,one needed to "add" another person's profile,which is an early example of "friending"someone.
2002-FRIENDSTER
—In 2002,a few years after six degrees was bought out and sold,friendster launched .it was similar to six Degrees in that users needed to create a profile and then add their friend's to their network to interact .However, it went further than six Degrees in that it allowed people to share videos and photos,as well as message other people on the network.
2002-MYSPACE
-those who dont mistakenly credit facebook with being the original social media site usually think mySpace was first on the scene .And while its true there were several sites already in operation by the time MySpace launched,it is also true that Myspace completely change the game.

Timeline History of New Media

New media history as well, atleast for the foreseeable future. However, this need not to be a problem. Strong disciplinary identities bring with them not only solid footing and well-rehearsed epistemological standpoints. The history of new media, partakes of some of the freedom and dexterity that is granted to those on the margins. First, this volume develops that the history of new media in a manner that emphasizes a number of interrelated themes. The volume has been developed in an attempt to norture our awareness of how media operate not only as subjects for historical inquiry but also as the substance of all the history. Second, this volume sets a course for an approach to history that is, we hope, less tide to print and writing (silent,visual media) than many other historical approaches. History is not only written and read. It is also seen,heard and felt.
The history of new media will requires an awareness of the varieties of media experience. Third, this volume underlined for the potential for new media history to take newness seriously. Getting beyond the native celebration of novelty is a start but more important than this is the potential for new media history to invigorate the study of media with ideas and theories that grapples with newness, difference and change.
