The Internet was primarily design and made as a structure for communities to communicate with one another. "computer networking was initially envisioned in the heyday of the Beatles as a military-centric command and control scheme". An early form of communication for the normal hobbyist was Bulletin Board system which allowed user to share items with the community from code, pictures and files. Sites like classmates.com was built on existing communities that went to school together. It feels that most social network were built from offline communities from Facebook with universities to myspace to musical performers in California.
