The Quiz: What is widely considered to be the first social networking website?
MySpace
Facebook
SixDegrees
Friendster
Launched in 1997, SixDegrees.com is considered the first social networking site to grace the internet. It allowed users to create profiles, list their friends, and search their friend lists. Though these features existed on other sites before, SixDegrees was the first to combine them into one coherent social network. The site quickly became popular and attracted millions of users, but failed to become a sustainable business and closed in 2000. Looking back, its founder believed it was simply ahead of its time.
The correct answer to this quiz is SixDegrees.
