 Collective.li makes it easy to collect, organize and vividly share your favorite topics of interest. Collective.li follows the exact same principle as Pinterest – collect web snips, images and add your own personal data to the table. Once you’ve started a collection you can choose how to display it before presenting it to a global audience in a format that resembles a digital magazine. This is what really sets it apart from the aforementioned network, which forces its users to use the same format for each pinboard.

What’s your first memory of social media?

Twitter, perhaps? Or maybe Facebook?

If you’re of a certain age, you’ll likely remember when MySpace was very much #1 amongst all social platforms. Roll the years back a little further, and you could have been one of the (relatively) few who were amongst the pioneers of modern social networking on Friendster.

But here’s the thing: the history of social media actually goes back a lot further, and its roots can be found in blogging, Google, AOL, ICQ, the beginnings of the world wide web and, perhaps surprisingly, CompuServe. This infographic from Creative Ramblings takes a closer look at the history of social media, 1969-2012.

Do you have an interest in Pinterest?!!!!!

Pinterest  is a social catalog. Share your taste by pinning things you love and building your collection. The pinboard-style photo-sharing website that allows users to create and manage theme-based image collections such as events, interests, and hobbies. Users can browse other pinboards for images, "re-pin" images to their own pinboards, or "like" photos. The site was founded by Ben Silbermann, Paul Sciarra, and Evan Sharp. It is managed by Cold Brew Labs and funded by a small group of entrepreneurs and investors.
