Until 2005 it was fairly hard to upload content to the web.
Youtube changed the game in 2005, as a free to upload video content platform, establishing the
term “Web 2.0”
Myspace was the first popular “social network”, but its focus was bands/music creators, and most of
its users had internet nicks.
Facebook, the biggest social network to date, insisted of users to use their real names. The main
content focal point is text and photos. Anybody can upload those.
