This article is about the evolution of Social Media. It talks about how social media became like how people wants it to be. Facebook only open to college students with valid .edu email addresses . MySpace was in its prime being used by 15-30 year olds on a regular basis. Twitter was in its infancy and only being used by a select few who were in the Internet (pre 2.0) industry. Blogs were not popular in distributing content but to use as personal journals.
Trending in Social Media has defined our culture. Facebook opened to the public and offer many applications and games. MySpace came into its own by specializing in Music. All of it can keep us engaged for hours and leave us updated in seconds becoming more beneficial for advertising campaigns.
