It’s been a walk down memory lane in the weblogging world for me lately. First I met Dave Winer this weekend, then I saw that Dan Hartung was back on the blogging scene on Sunday, and today I read that Jorn Barger has resurfaced. As a point of history, Jorn Barger’s Robot Wisdom Weblog was the origination of the term “weblog.” Peter Merholz (who I’ll probably run into at the grocery store in the next few days) came up with the term “blog.”
And if you need proof of the “blog” coinage, check out this page in the Internet Archive.
