The era: 2007 to 2010

**Show in a Box**, often initialized to as “**SIAB**”, was the first open-source social-media software for video.
|
||||
Back then, video on the Internet and the Web was just starting to be practical — it wasn't before.
|
||||
|
||||
**Show in a Box**, often initialized to as “**SIAB**”, was the first open-source social-media software for video — and it was **decentralized** social-media software.
|
||||
|
||||
In this era, both _decentralized_ social-media networks and _centralized_ social-media networks were popular.
|
||||
|
||||
MySpace was a popular _centralized_ social-media network in this era — it had a lot to do with why another _centralized_ social-media network, YouTube, initially got popular.
|
||||
Although, back then, YouTube was mainly used as a way of sharing videos on MySpace — because it was the only free video hosting website that supported playing video in (a non defunct technology known as) Flash.
|
||||
The centralized social-media network Twitter was _not_ popular yet, and was just getting started — at the time it was mainly populated by very early adopters.

MySpace was the popular _centralized_ social-media network in this era — it had a lot to do with why another _centralized_ social-media network, YouTube, initially got popular.
|
||||
Although, back then, YouTube was mainly used as a way of sharing videos on MySpace (as an embed on MySpace) — because it was the only free video hosting website that supported playing video in (a non defunct technology known as) Flash.
|
||||
MySpace's decline later led to the rise of yet another cenralized social-media network: Facebook.
|
||||
|
||||
A popular **decentralized** social-media network, in this era, was what was then called the **blogosphere** — the network of **weblogs** (often shorterned as “blogs“).
|
||||
A popular **decentralized** social-media network, in this era, was what was then called the **blogosphere** — the distributed network of **weblogs** (often shorterned as “blogs“).
|
||||
Although during this era, there was still some debate (that began in the late 1990s) over whether to call these “**web-logs**”, or “**web-journals**”, or “**web-diaries**”.
|
||||
As the story goes — “**web-log**” won, got concatenated as “**weblog**”, someone (not knowing “**weblog**” = “**web**” + “**log**”) thought it was a concatenation for “**we**” + “**blog**” and shortened it to “**blog**”.
|
||||
|
||||
Many people had wanted to do **video** over the Internet, and then the Web for years (if not decades).
|
||||
As **blogs** rose as a popular form of social-media, some people wanted to do **video** over **blogs**.
|
||||
A community was formed around this idea via a mailing-list — the **VideoBlogging Mailing List**.
|
||||
The mailing-list attracted many people interested in video on the Internet and the Web.
|
||||
|
||||
A conference related to the **VideoBlogging Mailing List** mailing-list was created — Vloggercon.
|
||||
(More on that later.)
