The Web? Blogs Are Journals Giving Anyone An Identity, And
An Awesome Forum
Journal writing used to be a private, personal experience

a blog? And what's the future of blogs and blogging?A: By a
remarkable coincidence, Steven Streight, aka Vaspers the

Brief History of
Blogs
So where did all these blogs come from? How did they get

inseparable from the computer, email or the internet, the
academics and tinkerers were there first, kicking the tires
