The potential for computer networking to facilitate new forms of computer-mediated social interaction was suggested early on.[8] Efforts to support social networks via computer-mediated communication were made in many early online services, including Usenet, ARPANET, LISTSERV, and bulletin board services (BBS). Many prototypical features of social networking sites were also present in online services such as America Online, Prodigy, and CompuServe. Early social networking on the World Wide Web began in the form of generalized online communities such as en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theglobe.com (1995),[9] Geocities (1994) and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripod.com (1995). Many of these early communities focused on bringing people together to interact with each other through chat rooms, and encouraged users to share personal information and ideas via personal webpages by providing easy-to-use publishing tools and free or inexpensive webspace. Some communities - such as en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classmates.com - took a different approach by simply having people link to each other via email addresses. In the late 1990s, user profiles became a central feature of social networking sites, allowing users to compile lists of "friends" and search for other users with similar interests. New social networking methods were developed by the end of the 1990s, and many sites began to develop more advanced features for users to find and manage friends.[10] This newer generation of social networking sites began to flourish with the emergence of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SixDegrees.com in 1997,[11] followed by Makeoutclub in 2000,[12][13] Friendster in 2002,[14] and soon became part of the Internet mainstream. Friendster was followed by MySpace and LinkedIn a year later, and, finally, Bebo. Attesting to the rapid increase in social networking sites' popularity, by 2005, it was reported that MySpace was getting more page views than Google. Facebook,[15] launched in 2004, has since become the largest social networking site in the world.[16]Today, it is estimated that there are now over 200 active sites using a wide variety of social networking models.[citation needed]

It includes wired and radio communication components rolled out and operated by NBN Co Limited. Originally intended to be a predominately Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) network, Fibre to the node (FTTN) and Hybrid fibre-coaxial (HFC) segments have been grafted onto the network following a politically motivated change to the rollout.
