Radio 4′s Rory Cellan-Jones delves into the hidden history of social networking.
Hear the history of the Berkeley hippies in 1973 setting up “THE WELL”, the first ever online discussion board; listen to interviews with those at the centre of the social world; and be amazed by stories of those who found about the birth of their nieces over Facebook.
Previews are already availible online, including a vox-popping video on the impact of social networking on different people’s lives.
The first episode will be aired tomorrow (Wednesday 26 January 2011) and a podcast will follow on the BBC webpage.
Essential listening for all those interested in online audio!
