💾 Like many early social media platforms, Bebo went through an identity crisis: launching in 2005 with college students as its target audience, then expanding to teens, young adults, & eventually the general public.

⚔️ Despite a strong start, Bebo couldn’t match the growth of MySpace & Facebook. Bands like Arctic Monkeys circulated on fan pages, showing how early platforms fueled communities — even as most faded into irrelevance.
