Studying the Evolution of Social Media to See its Future
I was a history minor in college - and, for awhile, it was my major. I am glad I was because the experience has framed how I view the development of the Internet and specifically online communities. (I have been online since 1988 when all we used were text-based online services.)
We need to see where we've been to understand where we might be going. Webdesigner depot has a great post that takes us down memory lane with some thoughts on what's next. Remember, that there will always be hype in this space. Yahoo bought Geocities for $3.65B and now, about ten years later, they shut it down.
