Nah, the PSTN was the original social network. And they even developed the first cloud app: voicemail.

- monocasa 9y agoEmail's older than voice mail.
- stanleydrew 9y agoFair enough, though I wouldn't call it a "cloud" application until webmail became prominent in the late 90s.
- monocasa 9y agoWhy? You'd log in to servers that were more or less permanently on and connected to public internet in order to access email for the length of it's existence.
- gscott 9y agoSorry, smoke signals were the first social network. Plus you couldn't even opt out of them.
- fwgwgwgch 9y agoThey weren't even push in a way. You had to manually pull the messages. So I don't think there's a question of opt out. :)
