A Brief Cartoon History of Social Networking 1930-2011

I'll be honest. It never occurred to me that there WAS a history of "social networking" prior to 2003. At least by the strict definition. Apparently my myopic view of the term was... well, myopic.

On the other hand, all of the REAL action started circa 2003, and only recently began to hit the 'tipping point'. The accelerated rate of adoption, participation, and innovation sorta boggles the mind.

Think about it.

There has been more transformation in media, marketing & communications in general in the past 5 years than in the prior 500.

Fucking amazing, no?

The original deck and its two sequels have since earned millions of views, been translated into a dozen languages, and spawned hundreds of copycats.
