WHAT WERE MYSPACE & LJ BEFORE THEY EXISTED?
My newest series is going to be about the precursors to on-line communities and blogs. I have been thinking about: how did people see eachother before they did it voyeuristically on the internet? Did they actually meet eachother in a typical place? like the way the kids on save by the bell hung out at the Max? Or crusing the streets in your bad ass car in the early sixties to cruise? I see more people online than in real life, just in case we forget how people used to communicate with each other I am going to recap some of the ways of communication/sharing that I personally have enjoyed the most and through out history.
