SixDegrees.com lasted from 1997 to 2000 and was named after the concept that you’re only ever six connections away from any human on the planet. In his book The Facebook Effect, author David Kirkpatrick wrote that Sixdegrees.com was “the first online business that attempted to identify and map a set of real relationships between real people using t...
Brad Fitzpatrick started LiveJournal in April 1999, to update his high school friends on his activities. Imagine a basic noughties website and ta-dah, you have LiveJournal’s home page – the addition of Frank the goat really makes it. The bigger surprise is that LiveJournal is still going strong in Russia, where it is used for political commentary i...
Before Facebook, Myspace and Hi5, Friendster went live in 2003 with an aim to connect people for dating and friendship. It was one of the first social networks to hit 1 million users, and just a few months after launch it had 3 million users. It’s name follows in the footsteps of music sharing platform Napster. The site closed down in 2015.
Did you know that LinkedIn launched before Facebook? LinkedIn was launched in 2003 by Reid Hoffman and founding team members from PayPal. Its aim was to connect business professionals. It didn’t find instant popularity though and only became a profitable business in 2006.
One of the most successful early social media platforms, Myspace was the first social network to reach a global audience, rather than mostly US-based. Launched in 2003, it was a response to Friendster’s takeover, allowing users to create “profile” pages featuring photographs, music, their interests, and link to others profiles.

Anyone who’s seen The Social Networkknows the history of how Mark Zuckerberg set up The Facebook while still a college student at Harvard. Originally only open to people with academic email addresses, Facebook – now called Meta – has grown to become the biggest and most influential social media platform.
Before we had Pinterest and Instagram, Flickr was the ultimate picture-led social media site. Launched back in 2004, it was primarily used to host high-resolution photos for other blogs and sites.
Who remembers this one? In 2007, Hi5 was the second most successful social media network after Myspace. Launches in 2003 by Ramu Yalamanch, it was similar to the other networks at the time, focussing on building a network of connections. Later, it refocussed itself as a social network gaming platform.
Another early noughties social media star. Like The Facebook, when Bebo launched in 2005, it was aimed at the 13 – 30 age bracket. What does Bebo mean? Well, nothing to start with. Founders Xochi and Michael Birch later decided it stood for “Blog Early, Blog Often.”
Another Internet legend up next. YouTube began with the video ‘Me at the zoo’ uploaded by co-founder Jawed Karim in April 2005. Today it is the second-most visited site in the world after Google.
Feb 24, 2021 · At its peak Bebo had 40 million users – a quaint figure compared to Facebook’s current 2.8 billion, but hardly insignificant. When Bebo’s founders, the husband-and-wife duo Michael and Xochi Birch, sold the social network in 2008, they got $850m for it.
Nov 20, 2016 · According to research compiled on business insider, the first few people to sign up, other than Mark Zuckerberg and other developers for the site, were close friends, mutual friends of multiple developers. This makes sense: since the developers worked together, they likely had strong bonds between them and mutual friends.
