There are a lot of theories about where social media first started. Was it in the baths of ancient Greece? Or was it deep in the bowels of the Pentagon? I have my own idea about this:

Mix tapes. Yes, mix tapes.

As I wrote in the Huffington Post the culture of customizing your own melange of information and sharing it is one of the great things about social media.Even more so, a great mix tape would get copied and re-copied spreading just like a viral video does now on YouTube.

Something to think about for the weekend!
