History of Social Media
October 9, 2009
I find the social media “revolution” a combination of old and new. The guts of the technology have been exposed for years. Some of the newest applications take advantage of mash up methods and bandwidth to create quite interesting online services. In my next Information World Review column I write about an innovation from Georgia Tech. The system displays real time data from devices such as traffic cameras. Writing the column forced me to do a quick review of the history of social media. I located a useful article that some readers may want to read. “Major Advances in Social Networking” provides a helpful summary of important milestones in this sector of content creation and processing. I found the selection of examples and the categories useful; for example, Lifestreaming. I did not agree with everything in the article, but I found it helpful in looking at the sweep of the social media innovation machinery.
