Continuing my history of blogging and RSS series, I look at 2001: the year of warblogs, Movable Type and Blogdex. I see '01 as a transition year for blogging, in which it shifts from personal journaling to a more journalistic approach (although many personal bloggers resented the influx of warbloggers). There are lots of great 2001 screenshots in this post, so I hope you enjoy it. https://cybercultural.com/p/blogs-rss-2001/ #InternetHistory #Blogging

Blogging Gets Serious in 2001 With Warblogs and Movable Type

After September 11, 2001, an influx of warblogs shakes up the blogosphere. It's part of a year-long transition in which blogging shifts from personal journaling to a more journalistic approach.

@ricmac I was curious how you worked me into a piece about 2001 when I didn't start Daring Fireball until 2002, but work me in you did. Great piece. Love the whole thing you're doing.

@ricmac That's a fun article but it doesn't half make me feel old
