Social Networks: Then & Now

by Andrew Ball in Social Media

The Internet is always evolving, and our favourite social networks are no exception to that evolution. In an ever advancing environment, if your not moving forwards, your moving backwards. Sometimes it can be interesting to take a look back in time to see how Social Networks used to look. Myspace, Facebook and Twitter are three of the most popular websites currently on the web, but they weren’t always as visually appealing and usable as they are now. Below are 10 of the Internet’s favourite Social Networking websites, and a comparison to their original design.
