weblogs: a history and perspective
7 september 2000

In 1998 there were just a handful of sites of the type that are now identified as weblogs (so named by Jorn Barger in December 1997). Jesse James Garrett, editor of Infosift ,
began compiling a list of "other sites like his" as he found them in
his travels around the web. In November of that year, he sent that list
to Cameron Barrett. Cameron published the list on Camworld , and others maintaining similar sites began sending their URLs to him for inclusion on the list. Jesse's ' page of only weblogs ' lists the 23 known to be in existence at the beginning of 1999.

Suddenly a community sprang up. It was easy to read all of the weblogs on Cameron's list, and most interested people did. Peter Merholz announced in early 1999 that he was going to pronounce it 'wee-blog' and inevitably this was shortened to 'blog' with the weblog editor referred to as a 'blogger. "

Jorn Barger in December 1997 called his website 'weblog'. During the following year gained Jesse James Garrett similar sites, which he found while surfing the Web, and Cameron Barrett published Jesse's 'page of only weblogs ' in early 1999. This list contained 23 blogs.

those days there was not the simple software like today, and a blogger had to know quite well with Websitebau. The posts were then very briefly, actually only almost daily references to other sites, link collections, addressed to the blog friends who came together at that time slightly later than the huge blogosphere was still emerging, much personal diary.

was in July 1999, the first free blog tool from Pitas in August Pyra bloggers, and the blogs opened multiplied explosively. The online media world changed. Rebecca Blood began to think in September 2000 laid in the power of weblogs, both readers and writers transform of (passive) audience to (active) public and from consumer to creative people. "You saw how it has indeed confirmed " blogs as an antidote to the numbing (crippling) Effect of media (information and data) over-saturated world " and blogging is still in the old style: in " Rebecca's Pocket "she informs its readers about blogging and interesting books and online articles, should read it.
