[center]A short history of Blogging[/center]

I hereby present to you in 394 words, how the terms Blogging, Blog, Blogger was first started, Origins, the geniuses behind the words, the year the word was first used and its purpose. Since Blogging occurs on the World Wide Web one can say the creator of the World Wide Web is the first person known to be a Blogger.

Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee is an English engineer and computer scientist and MIT professor credited with inventing the World Wide Web, making the first proposal for it in March 1989. On 25 December 1990, with the help of Robert Cailliau and a young student staff at CERN, he implemented the first successful communication between an HTTP client and server via the Internet. In 2007, he was ranked Joint First, alongside Albert Hofmann, in The Telegraph’s list of 100 greatest living geniuses.

Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee is the first person to create a Blog
(http://www.w3.org/History/19921103-hypertext/hypertext/WWW/News/9201.html) in my opinion. And he is also a living genius. It takes a smart thinking mind to realize why Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee is the creator and the first person to blog, if you try to open the link I posted about his work in the 90’s you will realize that he was blogging. He blogged about his research and success and he shared them online just like anyBloggeris doing.


The origin of the term “Blog”.

Jorn Barger is an American blogger, best known today as editor of
Robot Wisdom, an influential early weblog. Barger coined the term weblog to describe the process of “logging the web” as he surfed. The short form, “blog,” was later coined by Peter Merholz.

In 1999, Blogger and Pitas began to offer a simpler way to create a weblog. These hosted services allowed any person to easily sign up, create a blog, and write numerous postings. All without having to know HTML.

Pyra Labs launched Blogger On August 23, 1999 As one of the earliest dedicated blog-publishing tools, it is credited for helping popularize the format.

Pyra Labs was acquired by Google under undisclosed terms In February 2003. The acquisition allowed premium features (for which Pyra had charged) to become free. About a year later, Pyra Labs co-founder, Evan Williams, left Google.
