Analysis of Past Social Networks To figure out the future of Facebook we need to dive into the past Internet, the fast growth and even faster decline of earlier social networks like Myspace can show us what we should be looking for. It was only May of 2009 when Facebook surpassed Myspace with nearly 70 million users, a number dwarfed by current “populations”, but was newsworthy at the time. Every social network needs one thing, to be cool. The glitches or unused features can be overlooked, but if something’s cool it will gain a huge following.

Mirriam-Webster defines social media as “forms of electronic communication (such as websites for social networking and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (such as videos)” (Social Media, n.d.).
