17 December 1997 - John Barger talked of his web page Robot Wisdom and coined the term "weblog" - the logging of interesting web sites that he featured on his regularly updated journal. Today, Technorati is tracking more than 70 million web logs - or blogs as they've been known since 1999 - and this is one of them. Nice to be unique isn't it? This is up from 23 (yes, twenty-three) sites in 1998! Of course, blogs today aren't necessarily about what people find out there in cyberspace. For some it's about keeping people up to date with their movements (photographs from Safari) and their thoughts. And there's more of course ... the report I read on BBC News Online suggest that social network sites like MySpace and Facebook grew out of the blogging phenomenon.
