A Brief History of online blogging.Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_blogging_timeline“After a slow start, blogging rapidly gained in popularity. Blog usage spread during 1999 and the years following, being further popularized by the near-simultaneous arrival of the first hosted blog tools: Open Diary launched in October 1998, soon growing to thousands of online diaries. Open Diary innovated the reader comment, becoming the first blog community where readers could add comments to other writers' blog entries. Brad Fitzpatrick, a well known blogger started LiveJournal in March 1999. Andrew Smales created Pitas.com in July 1999 as an easier alternative to maintaining a "news page" on a website, followed by Diaryland in September 1999, focusing more on a personal diary community. Evan Williams and Meg Hourihan (Pyra Labs) launched blogger.com in August 1999 (purchased by Google in February 2003)” Today, Livejournal and Blogger remain popular blogging applications, but there are hundreds of other web-sites which offer blogging tools. Every account created on Myspace.com, for instance, comes with an easy-to-use blogging function. Types of blogs include: - personal blogs, up kept by individuals. - business blogs, on closed networks, used for business purposes. Or: on open networks, used to advertise products. - blogs by genre: which are topical, focusing on specific ideas or sectors, such as “movies”, “science”, “books”, etc. If you can think of it, there’s probably a blog out there devoted to it. |
