Meet the guy who started it all…

Jorn Barger coined the term “weblog” to describe the list of
links on his Robot Wisdom website that “logged” his internet
surfing.

In the decade since then, blogs have come to dominate the
net, from 100 million personal diaries to the breaking news
sections of the august The New York Times.

There are more than 100 million active blogs, according to
Technorati – a monumental leap forward from the relative handful
of geeks posting online just a few years back. And things just
look as bright for the future of blogs.
