When people ask what myspace or "social networking" are....it's simple:
Back in the late 90s, we had "Geocities", Tripod, etc. other "free web hosts" - for the most part myspace isn't anything really new...I think most people back in the day had atleast one geocities or "homestead" or other free web host somewhere on the net where they would write "posts" or updates on what they are doing, bios, their favorite movies, etc. (get it? lol...same thing as myspace).
The only thing myspace has that geocities didn't, is friends and comments!
Oh but then, some people created "web rings" and bravehost "guestbooks" and then we had friends and comments too :)
