MySpace was once the most visited website in the US, but lost users to Facebook. It failed to innovate and keep up with sites like Facebook that offered more utility. MySpace's attempts to focus on music and social entertainment have likely come too late, as users have migrated to other platforms. It now has a fraction of the users it once did.

Whenever I get asked what my favorite book is, I always reply The Pirates Dilemma.
The book tells the story of punk, disco, hip-hop, graffiti, and how modern technology has made the ideas and innovations of youth culture increasingly intimate and increasingly global at the same time.
It’s truly fascinating.
And when you look back, you can see the origins of the current social media revolution can be traced as far back as the 70’s (if not even further).
Back in the 70’s punk was the start of a revolution. Now, the only things that have changed are the platforms and the ease at which we can connect and create.
Here’s the history of social media: how it all started, why Facebook rose to #1 (and why it might not stay that way) and some bold predictions on where it’s all heading.

Introduction
Social media refers to all the online platforms that are used by people across the world to share information, ideas, and views. The discovery of social media has had several impacts on the society. It has made people change the way they use to do things in the past. This paper seeks to explain how the discovery of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Snap Chat and Instagram has influenced and shaped the American culture.
Facebook
Facebook was discovered back in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg as a medium for communication for college students. But eventually, it got accepted in the broader society, and today, it has more than a billion users. However, the discovery and integration of Facebook to the society has had many effects on the American culture.
Employment. Before the discovery of Facebook, American jobseekers had to watch TVs, listen to radios or read billboards for them to learn about new jobs. Some even had to walk to the offices to ask whether or not there were employment vacancies. Actually, it was a hectic process that required a lot of efforts and sacrifice. But with the discovery of Facebook, people nowadays learn of new job vacancies on this platform (Foreman, 2017). All you need is to like Facebook pages of the companies/sites that specialize in advertising latest job vacancies. This has dropped the old culture of having to stay close to TVs/Radio or visit the respective companies, instead, it has created a culture of seeking for employment while resting on your bed. If the current trend prevails, in future almost all companies will stop advertising vacancies via radios and televisions, and switch to using social media like Facebook (RELATIONS, 2018).
Connection. The discovery of Facebook has also changed the culture on how people connect. Initially, family members who had left for schools or jobs in far cities would communicate with their loved ones through phone calls. While that still promoted the family bond among the members, it didn’t do it as much as Facebook. Note that, phone call rates were expensive and so many Americans would only make few calls a day. Moreover, the phone calls did not support sharing of pictures and videos. But with the discovery of Facebook, granddaughters can frequently share pictures with their grandparents, thus increasing the bondage among the family members (RELATIONS, 2018). If this trend prevails, in future family members will hardly be visiting each other, since much of the connection and interactions will be done via Facebook (Read, 2016).
Twitter.
Discovered in 2006, Twitter has had a great impact on the American culture. People no longer do a lot of things that they used to do before 2006. For example:
News. Before twitter began trending in America, people had to stay close to radios or watch television to learn of the breaking news. Those were the only platforms that could d ...
Social Media for Family Physician Advocacy and RecruitmentLeslie Bradshaw
This is a presentation that I gave to the Florida Academy of Family Physicians in Jacksonville, Florida on October 24, 2009. The content is a general introduction to social media theory, with an emphasis on how the elements of community, authenticity, family and intimacy found in social media directly correlate to family physicians. Additionally, FAFP has been engaging younger doctors through their Facebook page and are looking to take this to the next level.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
3. The week of July 12, 2006, MySpace became the most
visited website in the United States, overtaking Yahoo and
Google.
MySpace had 61+ million registered users and was
growing at a pace of about 220,000 per day (Kurkell).
It was 50.2% male, 49.8% female, the second largest
destination on the entire Web and earned about $750,000
per day in ad revenue.
4. Today, with about 130 million users, Myspace has lost the
social networking race to Facebook, which counts nearly
half a billion members.
One year ago (2009), Myspace had 76 million visitors in
the month of October, according to Comscore, a company
that tracks online traffic.
In October 2010, that number was down nearly 20 million,
and the amount of time people spent on the site had
dropped by more than half.
So What happened?
5. MySpace has failed to keep up with the innovation.
Sites like Bandcamp, Topspin, Sonicbids and Reverb
Nation now exist and have, in most cases, improved upon
MySpace's once catch-all utility for bands, the site may not
even be able to rely upon the musicians who once gave
Myspace its best publicity.
Though it is still seen largely as a social network, Facebook
had companies building apps to make it a better site for
entertainment.
6. Too Little TOO Late?.
In a
November 16, 2010 interview with Laura Sydell of NPR
MySpace CEO Mike Jones announced a category he terms
'social entertainment,' to basically give everyone a very
personalized entertainment experience around celebrities,
TV, music, and movies that they love.
Does it stand a chance?
7. If you want to connect around film and television, there's
two billion sites to go do it on and so they (MySpace) have
to offer something really compelling that makes people
want to do it there rather than elsewhere. Nancy Baym, a
communications professor, University of Kansas
For MySpace the music sounds more like a funeral dirge.
9. Twitter is an innovative
technology that uses
micro-blogging¹ to
convey a thought or idea.
“Twitter connects
businesses to customers
in real-time (“Twitter”).”
It’s a handy dandy social
media network that
makes stalking your
friends, neighbors, and
favorite celebrities easy!
10. Twitter has been known
to convey quick bursts of
news quite efficiently.
Used in last year’s MTV
Video Music Awards to
talk about what
celebrities were doing or
wearing.

13. Facebook in
Communications
Builds loyalty to a
company
Allows for consumer to
consumer reviews
Free advertising
(Weinberg).
Facebook media like fan
pages allow for groups like a
PTA or a student club to keep
all the members updated on
events even if they miss the
meetings.
Facebook is also in the
process of releasing a new
email platform that will
integrate email, chat, and
SMS for a more “informal and
personal” approach(Faas).
14. Facebook in Academics
Many politician, and
government groups, like
Congress have Facebook
pages to update supporters
Drawbacks being that
government figures can’t
possibly respond to all the
comments.
Potential use as a warning
system for disaster
situations(Schrier).
Many school districts want
to use Facebook to update
parents
There are several proposed
additions to Facebook to
make it more educator
friendly
Most of these proposals are
rejected by students who
want to maintain privacy
(Mansell).
