NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - March 23, 2011) - PeopleBrowsr, the high-tech social analytics and engagement company, has released a visualized timeline of the History of Social Networking. Illustrating current social media sensations, such as Rebecca Black and Charlie Sheen, and historical milestones dating back to the 1930s, the timeline is being released in honor of the Advertising Research Foundation's 75th Anniversary. PeopleBrowsr commissioned the artwork for the San Francisco Command Center, as part of the company's ongoing commitment to analyzing emerging trends, curating and documenting social media.

The History of Social Networking timeline can be viewed on Slideshare and the PeopleBrowsr Blog.
