Of course. How about Hillside Club plus other sites around the world liveblogged, i.e. distributed vs. one big meatspace gathering? A 24-hour round-the-world party like Louis Wu? Heck, they might even join us in Second Life!

scriptingnews says:

Raines, I was thinking the same thing, where are places where crowds of friendly bloggers can gather in potluck fashion? Yes, the Hillside Club is one such place. All the food courts of the US? The Metreon in SF. Cambridgeside Galleria in Cambridge. I think we're onto something here. If it's going to be a blogger style thing it *has* to be self organizing. I'd like to get a HyperCamp going somewhere for this. Maybe I'll travel to NY for this event. Keep thinking!

Count me in as well. As to potluck, I am sure my wife can cook up something delicious.

Macintouch: 12+ years of blogging.
Posted 35 months ago. ( permalink )

scriptingnews says:

nmrk, now archive.org *could* be wrong, but it shows macintouch.com starting up in 1998, not 1995.

web.archive.org/web/*/http://macintouch.com

Of course they were doing email distribution before then, but of course, so was I (and others too).

Which is all moot, because TBL's first website (for the umpteenth time, it's getting boring) was in every way, a blog.

But blogging, as a social thing, as an inclusive thing, didn't begin then, it began in 1997.

Please NOT NYC Dave...where'd you write your first blog? Wouldn't that be a good place, maybe commemorate with a plaque: Birthplace of the Blog!
Posted 35 months ago. ( permalink )

nmrk says:

Sorry dave, Ric Ford was blogging daily links to news and commentary in 1994, years before you got around to blogging. I've read Macintouch every day for almost 13 years, their format has barely changed since day 1.
There were plenty of other blogs that predated scripting news, I often see Netscape's What's Cool page as a good example, that dates back to about 1993:
web.archive.org/web/20031127173904/wp.netscap e.com/home/w...

So dave, it is nice that you can claim 10 years of blogging, but you have no serious claim to be the first blogger, you're not even the second or third blogger, maybe not even in the first few dozen. So if you want to celebrate your blog's 10th anniversary, fine, but don't go around claiming it's the 10th anniversary of the invention of blogging.

Hey, I started in April the year before. :-) But I never called it blogging, etc. I viewed it as an on-line Christmas letter.

Congrats Dave!

Dave you got me going as well, though it wasn't until January 2001 and you provided manila for us to play with.

Count me in for the Sydney component of the party - I wonder where we'll gather?

betsythedevine says:

Congratulations, Dave! Of course others have claimed that blogging "really" began earlier--I recall making that claim for my own great-grandfather's letters from 1918:betsydevine.weblogger.com/2005/04/20

But surely you must be the Johnny Appleseed of blogging as well as RSS and probably lots of other stuff...

Congrats, Dave. How bout a celebratory Morning Coffee Notes podcast? I always check to see if you've put up something new there in my iTunes directory.
