Some people online today may be too young to remember email in it's most primitive form (myself included) but I do remember growing up with only 3 Internet providers which were AOL, Prodigy and Compuserve. AOL was my first experience using Social Media. AOL was King of Social Media for a long time from the days of dial-up to then DSL to then using an existing cable connection . I also IRC chat, social media sharing using Napster, then Kazaa, now it's all bittorrentz. Back in the days everyone expressed themselves by making their own homesites using Geocities then it was myspace, migente.com (for latinos) and there was also Blackplanet.com and AsianAvenue.com and now we have even more emerging networks everyday like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Tumblr, Pinterest, Blogger, Wordpress, Triberr, .
This infographic is in fact no complete history but it is a very good recent account of the larger networks still in existence for the most part ( It's missing like Google + which most people still don't understand how to use and other social media sites that are in the top ten like did you know Tagged was recently #9 and Orkut was # 10. See full list of top social networks And what of the Social Bookmarking Sites like Reddit, StumbleUpon, Delicious, Digg, Diggio, and others like those. Well that is for another infographic I guess.

On a side note while we are talking about brief History of Social Media and being that Vine is the last on the list in the infographic above; I leave you with a Vine video created by Esteban Contrera entitled "Brief History of Social Media on a Napkin"
and a few more timelines I found online
The lowest price is not the best service.Just like when getting bids for a project, the one that is way under the others can be a caution flag. Cheap is not always good when it comes to service. Choose a provider that has a price that is reasonable with the competition but not a low cost provider. You'll be happier in the end.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few sites listing customer reviews which can be used as a reference. However, please bear in mind that these reviews can be tainted and since the quality of VoIP service is affected by other factors (e.g. quality of broadband connection), it is not uncommon to find both good and bad reviews for the same company. If in doubt, you can always call the VoIP companies to express your concern and ask for clarification.
