“Say Everything”: The First Bloggers
Scott Rosenberg’s new book on the origin and development of blogs is Say Everything: How Blogging Began, What It’s Becoming, and Why It Matters. His 5-minute video on the origins of blogs (back to 1993!) is at the Say Everything Web site. Long-time readers of the SWET Weblog remember my own post on the topic, “Weblogs,” in October 2004. It’s always interesting to find out the foundations, and Scott traces them back through the 18th century to cave paintings in his video.
