Social Media has escalated with great momentum since the start of the twenty-first century. This booming business has gained many members without ever slowing down. The first main social media company that became popular was MySpace; an online social media service founded in August 2003 by Tom Anderson and Chris DeWolfe. Tom and Chris were members of a company by the name of eUniverse, a marketing company that is currently known as Intermix Media. Later in the next two years, the former president of MySpace, Tom Anderson left the MySpace team. Since the launch of MySpace, many companies were trying to join the social media race, such as Facebook. Facebook is an online social media service started by Mark Zuckerberg. Mark started the prospering business at the age of 23 when taking classes on psychology at Harvard University. This, surprisingly, was not his first social media sight, though. He was already an excellent computer programmer who made various social media sites for other students such as Facemash and Coursematch. Both these sites allowed students at the university and at other colleges to view people getting their degrees and rate people on their look or attractiveness. As you can now tell, the world of social media has seen an exponential increase in popularity and variety. Now, you see sites and services such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Ask Fm, Pinterest, and Instagram just to name a few. It would be hard just to imagine a world lacking in all these addictive services.
