You have done well grasshopper. The Internet is vast and the world wide web is vast. There are God only knows how many blogs out in that vast land and you found your way to the very first blog. Yes we were the first and all the other blogs are just images, copies of ShowMeBlog.
Not only did you find your way to our little island in this vast world but now you know information that very few others know. You know were the heart and soul of the blog was born.
The first blog was invented by me in June of 1982. It was written about in March of 1984 in "Link-Up" magazine by Ric Manning. His article was called "Top Ten Ports of Call for the BBS Traveler."
I think that the mention of the "chatty letter" and the rest of the information is proof that I did the first on line blog in 1984. The world wide web was not invented until 1992 by the way. I know because I was there for the birth of it. In fact I was waiting after having worked for years to help bring about the ground for the www.
So now you know something that none of your geek friends know. If you got a friend that tells you about his blog and acts like your not up to date with the Internet world you can just tell him ...hell I know all about blogs. I know the guy that invented the blog. You can tell him..sure I know Jim Howard he is a friend of mine. Or you can just smile at the poor guy and know that he knows nothing.
Now take the test. Who invented the blog? The poll is on the right hand side.
