Yeah, you really should have considered what Google would put on their social network when you signed up for an email account a decade ago before "social network" was even a thing.


What a baseless statement.

Gmail started April 2004.

Facebook started February 2004.

At which time Myspace was a year old.

Let's not be disingenuous and throw around nonsensical claims like "when you signed up for an email account a decade before "social network" was even a thing"...


-You're parsing that sentence wrong; note the word "ago".

-"social network" is in quotes because while the social networks themselves have been around for awhile, they only became a buzzword and the kind of thing Google would try to clumsily emulate in recent years.
