17th December’2007. That was the actual date, the day when “Blogging” or “Blog” celebrated it’s 10th birthday.

10 years back, of course there did exist, many online journals and message boards, but nothing like blogs were thought of, until one day, “Jorn Barger” coined the term “Weblog” which described the process of “logging the web” as he surfed. Weblog was combination of words “web” and “logs”. But us, the online community in those years, were quick to shorten the word “Weblog” into “blog”. And thus was born what i think most of the internet users, know of, early in their childhood.

It is amazing how, Jorn Barger, in December’1997, started posting comments and links, etc on his website “Robot Wisdom”, thus pioneering the weblog. Today, we all do the same thing. Most of us own a blog and we keep blogging the same way. So let’s give credits to the pioneer himself, who changed the internet world, forever. Thanks Jorn, and Happy Birthday “Blog” or “Weblog” or “Blogging”
