How Old Were You When You Created Your First Social Networking Profile

12, MySpace. 18 now. And, looking back, logging back in, viewing my page again for the first time in over 3 years, all I can say is, "holy shit I was a ******."

It's a little embarrassing, but I've since realized literally everyone can say the same thing. Seriously, you're 12-14 year old self would embarrass you, too, just look at anything you made from back then, you'll see.

I just use Facebook now.

Think I was like 10,11 years old and it was on a swedish site[footnote]Lunarstorm[/footnote](which has now crashed) which pretty much was like facebook just more stupid...

Was 17, got a Bebo.

I was wondering when someone would mention this. I made a Bebo account when I was like 14, so back in 2005. So cool, I think that place has all of 2 users now.

Yeah... I think a lot of people are inadvertantly incorrectly answering this. Social networking has been around basically as long as the internet . Most people had things like Yahoo, AIM, ICQ, accounts that tied Email in with instant messaging and other things such as bulletin boards. Just because new conventions crafted a new name for it, doesnt mean it wasnt around long before that name popularized. It simply existed in a different form is all.

With that said, I had a yahoo and a bolt account in 1999 when I first started accessing the internet and I was in my early 20s at the time.

About 12, I had Bebo.

Jesus...that takes me back.

Four years ago before I moved to London to study I had to make a myspace account because my girlfriend and most of my friends from bands kept pestering me to do I didnt use it much, since it seemed mostly like a social platform for indie musicians but it did ease the transition to facebook. Which I was quilted into doing by my new UK friends
It?s the circle of nagging that keeps social networking alive and well

16. Just a year ago I joined facebook, I kid of regret doing it now but whatever. I check it once in a while. I never got into that whole social network craze. I like talking to people in person.

Facebook a bit ago... I don't know, I never spend more than a few seconds thinking of it, no clue when I made it.
