Social Media in today’s world is a network of application that people can use to share and create with people across the globe. The first social media website was created in 1997 with the site “Six Degrees.” The idea didn’t fully catch on until 2005 when Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook. Since then, 75% of the world’s population is engaging in social media across hundreds of platforms.

Peer Review

Organization: I think that your information is organized in a clear way that’s easy to follow. They started with the first social media and formed their organization in chronological order. Balance: There is no information that seems unnecessary and I actually think that more information could’ve been included. Some information that could’ve been added is more information regarding other social media that was created. Like what was the next social media website after “Six Degrees”. No, this article is not arguing a certain point and is very fair. Neutrality: The only part I could see that would maybe be unneutral is the part that says, “The idea didn’t fully catch on until 2005,”. You could say that this is an opinion because there’s no facts to support it. Like there could’ve been some statistics about the users of Six Degrees vs. the users of Facebook. No, this author does not make any claims on an unnamed group of people. I think that this article is very neutral. It’s not showing anything in a negative or positive way but just facts. Reliability: These statements are from reliable sources such as textbooks and journal articles. One of the sources is from a .edu website and another one is from a .org website. These are very reliable sources and aren’t biased from what I looked over. No, there aren’t any statements that rely heavily on one or two sources. After reading through the articles, the information in the articles could be found on the websites and sources listed.

In my opinion, I think that this is a really good start. The information was simple and easy to follow. The sources were good and reliable, plus the information in the article was found on the sources page. The information was represented in a way that wasn’t plagiarism. I really liked the statistic that you put in though. The criticism I would give this article is that I think it was too short. You could’ve added more information like other social media that came before Facebook. ````Kaylin Gomes — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kgomes11 (talk • contribs) 02:32, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
