We define social network sites as web-based services that allow individuals to
(1) construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system,
(2) articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection, and
(3) view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system. The nature and nomenclature of these connections may vary from site to site.

Web 1.0 (1991-2003) is a retronym which refers to the state of the World Wide Web, and any website design style used before the advent of the Web 2.0 phenomenon. Web 1.0 began with the release of the WWW to the public in 1991, and is the general term that has been created to describe the Web before the "bursting of the Dot-com bubble" in 2001, which is seen by many as a turning point for the internet.

Web 1.0

The term "Web 2.0" (2004–present) is commonly associated with web
applications that facilitate interactive information sharing,
interoperability, user-centered design[1] and collaboration on the World
Wide Web.
A Web 2.0 site allows its users to interact with other users or to change
website content, in contrast to non-interactive websites where users are
limited to the passive viewing of information that is provided to them.
Web 2.0
Tuesday, January 4, 2011
The term "Web 2.0" was coined in 1999 by Darcy DiNucci. In her article, "Fragmented Future," DiNucci writes:
“The Web we know now, which loads into a browser window in essentially static screenfulls, is only an embryo of the Web to come. The first glimmerings of Web 2.0 are beginning to appear, and we are just starting to see how that embryo might develop. The Web will be understood not as screenfulls of text and graphics but as a transport mechanism, the ether through which interactivity happens. It will [...] appear on your computer screen, [...] on your TV set [...] your car dashboard [...] your cell phone [...] hand-held game machines [...] maybe even your microwave oven.”
Where Web 2.0 Came From

What makes social network sites unique is not that they allow individuals to meet strangers, but rather that they enable users to articulate and make visible their social networks.
This can result in connections between individuals that would not otherwise be made, but that is often not the goal, and these meetings are frequently between "latent ties" (Haythornthwaite, 2005) who share some offline connection.
On many of the large SNSs, participants are not necessarily "networking" or looking to meet new people; instead, they are primarily communicating with people who are already a part of their extended social network.
To emphasize this articulated social network as a critical organizing feature of these sites, we label them "social network sites."

Rogers Model for the Adoption & Diffusion of Innovations
InnovatorsBrave people, puling the change. Innovators are very important communication.
Early AdoptersRespectable people, opinion leaders, try out new ideas, but in a careful way.
Early MajorityThoughtful people, careful but accepting change more quickly than the average.
Late MajoritySkeptic people, will use new ideas or products only when the majority is using it.
LaggardsTraditional people, caring for the "old ways", are critical towards new ideas and
will only accept it if the new idea has become mainstream or even tradition.Innovation adoption curve of Rogers!
