Blog Trivia

Blogs turn 10--who's the father?

"It may not be one of the Internet's grandest accomplishments, but with the number of active bloggers hovering somewhere around 100 million, according to one estimate, there are some serious bragging rights to be claimed by the first person who provably laid fingers to keyboard in the traditional bloggy way.

Was the first blogger the irascible Dave Winer? The iconoclastic Jorn Barger? Or was the first blogger really Justin Hall, a Web diarist and online gaming expert whom The New York Times Magazine once called the "founding father of personal blogging"?..." Someone may want to contact them and give them the correct information. Blogs are not 10 years old they are over 25 years old. I invented blogging back in June of 1982.

Jim Howard is the inventor of blogging.

The first blog is still going and is called Howard's Notebook and can be found at www.showmeblog.com
