History of blogging

Page 3: Webtech  - aablogging

The history of blogging starts with several digital precursors to it. Before "blogging" became popular, digital communities took many forms, including Usenet, commercial online services such as GEnie, BiX and the early CompuServe, e-mail lists and Bulletin Board Systems (BBS).

In the 1990s, Internet forum software, such as WebEx, created running conversations with "threads". Threads are topical connections between messages on a metaphorical "corkboard". Some have likened blogging to the Mass-Observation project of the mid-20th century.

1983–1993• Usenet was the primary serial medium included in

the original definition of the Internet. It featured the moderated newsgroup which allowed all posting in a newsgroup to be under the control of an individual or small group.

1994–2001

• The modern blog evolved from the online diary, where people would keep a running account of their personal lives. Most such writers called themselves diarists, journalists, or journalers. A few called themselves "escribitionists".

After a slow start, blogging rapidly gained in popularity. Blog usage spread during 1999 and the years following, being further popularized by the near-simultaneous arrival of the first hosted blog tools:

• Open Diary launched in October 1998, soon growing to thousands of online diaries. Open Diary innovated the reader comment, becoming the first blog community where readers could add comments to other writers' blog entries.

• SlashDot, a still-popular blog for tech "nerds" launched in September 1997.

• Brad Fitzpatrick, a well known blogger started LiveJournal in March 1999.

• Andrew Smales created Pitas.com in July 1999 as an easier alternative to maintaining a "news page" on a website, followed by Diaryland in September 1999, focusing more on a personal diary community

• Evan Williams and Meg Hourihan (Pyra Labs) launched blogger.com in August 1999 (purchased by Google in February 2003)

2001–2004• By 2001, blogging was enough of a phenomenon

that how-to manuals began to appear, primarily focusing on technique. The importance of the blogging community (and its relationship to larger society) increased rapidly. Established schools of journalism began researching blogging and noting the differences between journalism and blogging.

Page 11: Webtech  - aablogging

• Several broadly popular American political blogs emerged in 2001

• Since 2002, blogs have gained increasing notice and coverage for their role in breaking, shaping, and spinning news stories.

• Blogging was established by politicians and political candidates to express opinions on war and other issues and cemented blogs' role as a news source.

2004–present• In 2004, Global Voices Online, a site which

"aggregates, curates, and amplifies the global conversation online – shining light on places and people other media often ignore" surfaced, bringing to light bloggers from around the world. Today, the site has a relationship with Reuters and is responsible for breaking many global news stories.

In 2007, Tim O'Reilly proposed a Blogger's Code of Conduct.

In 2011, Tom Knighton, owner of Knighton Media, Inc, announced that his company was purchasing The Albany Journal.

Xanga

Page 28: Webtech  - aablogging

Tripod

Page 30: Webtech  - aablogging

•Tripod, created by the underdog search engine Lycos, is a web hosting service and content management system for blogs and websites that operate under free, plus or pro accounts.

LiveJournal

Page 32: Webtech  - aablogging

•LiveJournal, formerly owned by Six Apart and written in PERL, differs from other major blog platforms because of its unique community feel and social networking features.

•The “friends list” provides a way for people who have LiveJournal accounts to connect with each other and a friends page displays a feed of LiveJournal posts (or “entries”) made by friends.

•One bad thing about LiveJournal is the fact that you must display advertisements (from LiveJournal) even if you upgrade to a Plus account.

We have seen that technology is changing fast and the library and information science is also beingaffected by the technology ). Blogging is also becoming a fast cornerstone tool in the online dissemination and consumptions of information, which makes sense to briefly explain a concept that extends the concept even further.

Page 41: Webtech  - aablogging

Librarians are becoming the early adopters of blogging to support informing their clients and themselves of new Web and information technology resources, of changes to library services and collection development, and for various internal purposes such as distributing information and mounting team-based projects.

Page 42: Webtech  - aablogging

Blogging works best in situations where information needs to be ordered in descending chronological order. Blogging could be an efficient and effective alternative for information and knowledge transfer, resulting in a more productive workforce.

Blogging is not solely meant for advertising marketing purposes, but also serves as an efficient means for fun, entertainment leisure and knowledge sharing in a quick and efficient manner.
