    Twitter introduced hashtags? NOT! "The pound sign was adopted for use within IRC networks circa 1988 to label groups and topics. Channels or topics that are available across an entire IRC network are prefixed with a hash symbol # (as opposed to those local to a server, which use an ampersand '&')." -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashtag

    Linus forgot to mention Orkut, which was huge in Brazil & India. In 2009, it had nearly 30 million users while Facebook had just 4.2 million. It was acquired by Google; so, in a way, it was their first ever social network.

    Also early on in the Internet era, there were people creating Angelfire pages and Geocities pages, I went with a less popular Homestead page, but Homestead still exists to this day, but no longer seems to offer a Trial membership, but early Trial members were grandfathered in, and still retain their limited membership tier. Of course now I just use my homestead site as a custom start page with several button links that I recustomize every few months, sort of a Visual Bookmarks page that pops up everytime I open the browser or go 'home'.

      Its simple
      Memory bus and bus speed is the amount of data sent at once in parallel to GPU
      Bitsize doesnt natter nowadays
      What interests you is the generation of the PCI-E bus
      Because all today's new gpus are heading to the limits of data transfer of Pci-e Gen3
      So just search for motherboards with Pcie gen4
      And then it shouldn't be any problem with Bus speed
      Remember that stats like bus length size speed etc etc are whats on paper, it means that it doesn't shows real performance
      And you should look at FPS in certain load youre buying card for
      Me for example searches often to get pretty futureproof gpu for CAD
      And Nvidia quadro performs better in it than gaming GPUs

    I was actually introduced to social media via hi5, which was very popular in my school back in 2007/8. Most people didn't have internet connections back then, myself included, and so I gave my password to a friend who did. To you know, use it occasionally. Damn I feel so old.

  • @Ar7ific1al
    @Ar7ific1al 6 лет назад +5

    My god, I remember the "web design" of the late 90s, early- and mid-2000s. The embedded midi tunes that play automatically with no way to shut it up other than to unplug your speakers in fury. The rapidly sparkling gif backgrounds. The gaudy borders around every single element on the web page. I'm so glad we've outgrown all that garbage.

  • @Jackrodder
    @Jackrodder 5 лет назад +3

    There was a social media site in Hungary, way before Facebook or Twitter was born, named IWIW.
    It had almost half of the features that today's social media sites use. Messages, posts on other people, clubs (groups), timeline etc.
    Sadly, site had to be closed after literally every user left to Facebook. I saw as my Friends deleted their accounts, and over a week there was none.
    RIP IWIW

      Tushar, that was in 2004, the year when Orkut was created.

    Facebook = nothing was that "innovative" about it but they made social networking clean and not annoying and have since added innovative features
    Linkedin = the social network everyone has but never uses
    Twitter = only useful because EVERY celeb and company uses it but I have no desire to tweet or follow my friend's tweets
    Google+ = tried it for a week but Google has given us no reason to use it instead of FB

    How can you forget Orkut? It was one of the most used social network during the 2000's

      bump...never heard of orkut until now.....barely heard of friendster in name. really only heard of and used myspace for games and facebook until it went down the drain so quickly and turned into a trash heap of ads and unecessary shit.

    Zuckerberg is from my hometown, Ardsley. His dad was my dentist for many years, his office was in their home My mom grew up across the street from their house before they moved in. I know several people who were his age when he went to school here before he transferred to Exeter or whatever even though our high school was a blue ribbon top high school in the country which is why people move here to begin with.
