[Beatriz9]

The first recognizable social media platform was SixDegrees.com, launched in 1997. It allowed users to create profiles, add friends, and send messages—features that later became standard on modern social networks. Although it shut down in 2001, SixDegrees laid the foundation for platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

Its creators were ahead of their time, launching social networking before widespread internet access. Today, it's remembered as the pioneer of modern social media.
