Secret History of Social NetworkingJoin Now to Follow
It's a phenomenon which seems to have come from nowhere, but in fact computer-based social networks have been around for decades. In this three-part series the BBC's technology correspondent Rory Cellan Jones traces the hidden story of social networking, from the early days of computing and the 60s counterculture through to the businesses worth billions today. From their roots in utopian experiments in California, online social networks spread around the world. In the past few years companies such as Facebook and Twitter have captivated millions of users. But what will be the next big thing in social networking, and how is it changing our lives? This series was originally broadcast in three weekly parts from 26 January 2011.

Jack At NiteJoin Now to Follow
Jack at Nite pushed buttons, drank coffee and made flippant comments between the music during his 20 year tenure at Charlotte, NC’s top rock stations.
