| Electronic Social Networking has been ((//Footnote to trigger the index ''<nowiki>https://www.dokuwiki.org/faq:searchindex</nowiki>''//.)) around since the days of the ARPAnet. In the late 1960s and through the 1970s the ARPAnet allowed researchers to communicate and collaborate via //Electronic Mail// and FTP //File Sharing//. Protocols such as SEND allowed for //Instant Messaging// among users of systems and systems of other networks. //Electronic Mailing Lists// were //Discussion Groups// that later spawned the largest //Distributed Social Network// of the 1980s: USENET and its transport system UUCP. Paralleling this were many privately owned Social Networks called //Electronic Bulletin Boards//. These were usually stand alone, but some used //Interconnected Conferencing// and were linked together as //Nodes//, while some were also part of the UUCP network. USENET eventually made its way back to the ARPA/Internet where it continued to reign through the 1990s as the largest //Distributed Social Network// and it is still widely used to this day. | Electronic Social Networking has been around since the days of the ARPAnet.
