Haha, I'm too young to really have lived it, I'm only 26 so... I did experience the start of Facebook and Twitter. I'm very glad people who did live through it are expanding on it.

Yeah it sounds like you got online right when Web 2.0 was starting to really kick off. Back before then we did have search functions, though they were pretty primitive compared to what they've become now (and also before they went to shit with excessive SEO and advertising). Web 2.0 really marked the emphasis towards UX design and social network functionality within web sites/design, though people had links on their personal pages well before all that.
