Blog Birthday: Milestone Musings

Derived from ‘Web Log’, the ‘Blog’ celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2007 (if you subscribe to the view that web-journal pioneer, Travis Petler, coined the term in 1997). According to blog search engine Technorati there are now well over 60 million blogs. Blogs are (among others):

• Gaining global attention


• Forcing governments to take note of opinions and discussions


• Becoming established as serious media


• Attracting expert opinion and contribution.

With such accomplishment, ten years marks a significant milestone. Happy Birthday!
