A post on a friends blog spurred a chain of thoughts which lead to a little reminiscing which lead to this post…

• Remember when Twitter had no spammers, no MLMarketers, no DM’s offering free e-books on how to make a fortune?
• Remember when you had to be in college to use Facebook?
• Remember when Adam Curry did a “daily” Daily Source Code?
• Remember when everyone was saying, “Have you heard about this thing called PodCamp?”
• Remember when the hottest new marketing thing in the world was a place called Second Life?
• Remember when Google Feedburner was called Feedburner but before was called Burning Door?
• Remember when the term social media meant nothing?
• Remember the world before YouTube?
• Remember when you had to explain to everyone what a podcast is, what a blog is?
• Remember when iTunes opened up to podcasts?
• Remember when Mevio was called Podshow and Mevio Music Alley was called the Podsafe Music Network?
• Remember when the Podcast Expo became the Portable Media Expo which became the New Media Expo and now the Blog World and New Media Expo?
• Remember when no one, I mean no one used FriendFeed?
• Remember “Pownce?”
• Remember when the official name for a blog was “weblog?”
• Remember when Google launched adsense? or when people would ask, what’s a Google?
• Remember when reading your favorite blogs became easier with the creation of news feed technology, called RSS, by Dave Winer?

I could go on and on and on…I would love to hear some of your “remember whens.”
