Blogs Turn 10

16:48 H | Topics: Internet - Media - VivirLatino

This year, our humble online home, VivirLatino turned two years old. And VL wouldn't exist at all if someone, 10 years ago today, hadn't come up with the concept -- or at least the term:

The word "weblog" celebrates the 10th anniversary of it being coined on 17 December 1997.

The word was created by Jorn Barger to describe what he was doing with his pioneering Robot Wisdom web page.

The word was an abbreviation for the "logging" of interesting "web" sites that Mr Barger featured on his regularly updated journal.

How much has the blogosphere changed since then? According to the BBC, the year following Barger's coining of the term there were only 23 blogs online. Now there are 70 million.And if you love or hate social networking sites like MySpace or Facebook, you have blogs to thank. They paved the way for the social sharing of information and creation of virtual networks.
