I’m working on a history of social media platforms. I aim to trace out the evolution of the specific platform features that we take for granted today (groups, profiles, “interests”, etc).
Although there do exist a few histories of social media, they are shallow and don’t cover platform details in depth.
Do you know of any computing blogs/magazines/personal blogs or even historians/people who might have information that I’m looking for — specifically, details about the platforms themselves?
Thank you HN :)
EDIT: if there are any older internet users reading this, I would be really grateful if I could ask you a few questions about this! (email, Zoom, whatever works)
