Social media is all about people interacting online and discussing things like messages, movies, images and links with one another. The earliest source of a social media network can be found all the way to 1994 when Google GeoCities developed a web hosting support where internet users needed to select their town in which to point content. But the idea of GeoCities eventually died out and by '09 Yahoo closed its social networking tool in the US and the web hosting service exists only in Japan now.

MySpace Became Popular In 2003 MySpace was founded within 2003 and rapidly became one of the more well-liked social media networks online. It was originally designed for bands and music artists and their fans, but quickly became popular as the social network of choice by the mass internet neighborhood.
