A Short History Of Social Media

For something that has become so crucial in our daily routine, social media hasn’t been around that long. Within the last few years, internet applications have transformed from simple utilitarian tools to creative outlets for personal expression and innovation. And these platforms are very, very important to us.

Social Internet platforms have also connected the globe in a way that wasn’t previously possible, making the world a little smaller and its inhabitants a little closer.

It’s been cause and core to revolutions, a valuable tool for fighting oppression or rallying support. All that, and it’s still really, really new…


This informative infographic gives you a short, but thorough, history of social media right from its roots in 1978 through to today. Beyond telling you when a particular social media service was created, (Blogger in August of 1999, for instance), it also gives you other relevant pieces of historical information.
