10 Already?

Cnet (on MSN) says that this year is the 10th anniversary of the "blog"--perhaps. It's hard to define because I remember whn the term blog first came into use--when I alone of the people around me knew what blog was. Blog was a personal web site that was NOT a diary, but links of interesting places the writer of the blog went and his commentary. That was a blog. Oh and they put the additional qualifier that these entries must be in reverse chron.--not sure why...but it is.

Today a blog is any sort of on-line diary--written in reverse chron order. That I have been doing for 9 years--I remember with vague fondness FTPing at least three files when I posted--I love Blogger! (10 years ago I was to busy getting kicked in the teeth by Austin, TX and I had little time for the internet. You rarely see an actual blog they way they were back in the day. Only one I still frequent is Jason's kottke.org (sniff I miss osil8 though)--he and others inspired me to actually try to blog--share links and my thoughts about them. But as blogs themselves became more and more personal and less and less about sharing tons of links...I found myself being as egotistical and making my blog more of a diary than a blog. (Yes I am very egotistical--bloggers must be).

Now there are 100 million blogs and bloggers out there. There are A LOT of egotists out there are there.
