In the final part of my 5-part series on the history of blogging and RSS, we come to 2003: when RSS Readers like NetNewsWire and Bloglines burst onto the scene, and when I made my official entrance into the blogosphere with a Radio Userland blog called Read/WriteWeb. Also: Google buys Blogger, WordPress debuts, and 16-year old Aaron Swartz live-blogs a Dave Winer keynote. https://cybercultural.com/p/blogosphere-2003/ #InternetHistory #BloggingHistory

If you read to the end*, you'll notice I plugged the fediverse:
"If you have comments, well this isn't a blog...but you can tag me on the fediverse [links to my Mastodon a/c]— the closest thing we have today to the blogosphere of 2003."
