"OG Social Network: Other People's Websites"... nope, not terribly OG really.
For those on the early internet there were things like mailing lists, Usenet, and others which allowed communities to form online.
For those not on the early internet there were still network supporting social interaction and had well developed communities. BBSs, FidoNet, and even consumer oriented online service providers such as CompuServe existed before the internet was widely available to average consumers and pre-dating the existence of websites by some years; such services were absolutely social with email, forums, and real-time group chat rooms. I developed many far flung friendships through many of these social networking services... and all well before 1990.
