Who wrote the first blog? That is is the question. Seems that there could be a number of claims to that question! It depends on what you can call a blog, is it a personal bulletin board?, Is it an online personal diary?
Here is the article from CNET News.com that asks the question.
I can certainly remember reading early technical diaries by a number of early ‘online’ journalists, pushing out very interesting articles about the changing technologies, like Jerry Pournelle for the now sadly defunct BYTE magazine (who still writes a good blog), plus of course may others.
It will be interesting to see who gets the final accolade, will it be Tim Berners-Lee? Will it be Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina, I remember reading their notes after I had installed my first copy of the original NCSA Mosaic browser on a UNIX computer pretty soon it was released back in 1993! We will see!
