The first social media network I joined

How time flies... It feels like yesterday when I signed up on 2go app which was the first ever social media app I used...

The first social media platform I knew was Facebook but I found it difficult to sign up because of the requirement, Gmail and others which I do not know how to open then but 2go came and made things easier for everyone...

Anyone can have a 2go account, even people without phones can sign up on 2go and log in with their friends phone when they are opportune...

Data was cheaper back then too, I remember the night I downloaded the 2go app and log in, I only bought etisalat airtime worth 200 naira and I was given 15megabyte worth of data for free which last for weeks if properly managed unlike now that one can easily use 10gig in a day...

No one would have expected 2go to fade away like it did, as at when it was reigning, there were more 2go users than Facebook users..

It was fun chatting in group chats and then many people were going crazy about their 2go stars, I reached ultimate in one of my account...

Whatsapp was 2go killer, When android was launched and WhatsApp was founded, many people left 2go because WhatsApp offered more features which was direct messaging your friends as long as you have their number which 2go doesn't have, you can't find your friends unless they tell you their username...

Many of my friends left the 2go app then but I didn't care until my best friend also did, she left but would always check in sometimes to chat with me and she let me know I am the reason she stil checks in on 2go that I should come to WhatsApp and it was because of her I downloaded the WhatsApp app and slowly I started losing interest in 2go too...

With time, 2go fade away but it will always be remembered as the first social media platform which connect me with my best friend.

The app gave me a lot of memories which I cherish till now.

Out of curiosity, I downloaded the app again and I was able to access this account, it was my second account and it is a master account. I lost my first 2go account phone number which made it impossible to retrieve the password and the account star was already in ultimate.

Unfortunately my friend list isn't showing anymore, it seems 2go wiped them all 😭, I miss them but glad am still in contact with my bestie🙂 and few others...

It seems like I was the only one who didn't have 2go account then. I didn't even check how the site looked like.
Yeah, WhatsApp did 2go strong thing. Many 2go users switched to WhatsApp because of the many features it offered.

oh, you missed the fun. we can all agree that WhatsApp put an end to 2go career

No one would have expected 2go to fade away like it did, as at when it was reigning, there were more 2go users than Facebook users..

Back then, Facebook and other social media sites were learning from 2go in terms of activeness. I just wish the owner of 2go then, cashed out well with the huge traffic.

I feel like downloading 2go, login and see my account again 😅

As in! he was able to gain a lot of users cos of the app's simplicity, it was easy to sign in and use... The 2go credit days, I farmed millions of that too if only it later became crypto lol

if you download and login, you will be disappointed, they have wiped everyone you know there

Jeeeez!
This is a nice idea, the credits.
If it were to be now, the credits could have been turned into crypto and further making it more active

Yea unfortunately it didn't work that way

You made me remember 2go days when I was still in high school😅😅
That gave girls the chance to height boyfriends😅😅😅

It was the fastest way to connect with people back then lol

Throwback before you blow come get money 😁😁😁

🤣 infact it was that friend I met on 2go that introduced me to steemit ...

Facebook was also my entry reason to access the internet. I can still remember how I excited was to create an account.
By the way, I never heard about the 2go app.

oh I guess it was not popular in your country
