Social diary

What had been the diary until XXI century? An intimate book, a notebook, a self-made compilation of the most hidden thoughts, intimate details of the life and frank confessions. Ideas were carefully hidden under the pillows, were locked from prying eyes.
What has become the social network in our time? Perhaps, a kind of social diary, only each user gets a pleasure from collecting many "likes" from viewing his/her own page by other users.
