Social networks are not NEW,
They have just gained a wider audiance due to improvod usability.
USENET or news groups started in 1979 (long before HTTP), where like minded individuals could gather and exchange puclic messages, very much like twitter today.
The big difference, it was mainly a hardcore GEEK world.

I’m still a regular usenet user. I like the threaded structure, and the low-tech, text-only interface.
