I look back at the dawn of blogging and RSS in 1999.

Alongside this, Netscape and ​Dave Winer had early versions of RSS — Netscape's was the official RSS format at this time, but it was very limited. cybercultural.com/p/blogs-rss-

With the #WorldBlogDay coming up on Sunday, I updated my World Blog Day post from last year.

"A funny thing happens with history in that the most mundane, ubiquitous parts of daily life are the things that we've kind of lost the most because nobody wrote about them."
