subject: Avi Labor – A Social Media Enthusiast [print this page] Social media isn't really "new." While it has only recently become part of mainstream culture and the business world, people have been using digital media for networking, socializing and information gathering almost exactly like now for over 30 years:
Online services, like Prodigy and CompuServe, were the first large scale corporate attempts to bring an interactive, "social" online experience to the masses. Online services rose to popularity concurrently along with BBSes and catered to a more corporate and mainstream-home-user kind of set. They offered a safe, moderated environment for social networking and discussions.
People have been addicted to "tweeting" their real-time status updates (using hash tags (#) and at-signs (@)) for over 20 years. Jarkko Oikarinen created IRC, or Internet Relay Chat, in August 1988. It was notably used to break news on the Soviet coup attempt during the media blackout and keep tabs on the first Gulf War. Many people stayed logged into IRC constantly using it to share links, files and keep in touch with their global network they used twitter the same way Twitter is used today.
