RE: The Other Side of the Coin - Dealing with the Onboarding Issue and Some Ways of Helping

in #steemit8 years ago

Ok, great example, FB. I personally have no clue, but what was it like? What features did they have, when they did start promoting? I would like to know. And also, take into consideration at that time, the level or bar was lower, as the social media we have today did not exist in 2003-2005. So the features to start off would not be comparable to today's features. Also, FB created many of the social media features we now use. Thanks.

Sort:  

It was pretty empty and yes it was a different time for sure. A lot more text and fewer photos. No advertising or monetisation either. It was really quiet too as not many people were on. Initially I saw it and didn't use it - my brother starting using it very early and I would see his feed and posts and wonder what the point was! It is hard to remember exactly what it was like now though because we take so much of these things for granted now and one of the problems is that memory is very fallible and fluid. Might be a good exercise to use something like the wayback machine to have an objective look.
