Danah Boyd put together a wiki documenting the timeline of social networking software. It is funny to think that widespread use of the web is only about 11 years old, and that if we don’t write these things done, they will be lost. Funny, in the I was a Classics major in undergrad and we used to drive ourselves nuts thinking about how much was lost because nobody writes down what is most obvious in their day to day lives.
Wikipedia has a great list of social networking sites, for those of you who think that MySpace and Facebook invented social networking :)
