History of blogs

Blogging is very popular nowadays and according to online sources, the craze began in the late 1990s. In 1998, a person named Cameron kept track of the all the blogs which existed on the Internet then. At that time, blogs already existed but there were very few blogs, as blogging was not popular then. It was actually possible to keep track of all the blogs and there were about 23 in existence in 1999.

Then in early 1999, people took interest in blogs and more began reading them. It was then, the craze for blogging took the public by storm. People created their own blogs and soon it was difficult to keep track of all the blogs on the Net. The earliest definition of a blog was a website with dated entries. Brad Fitzpatrick started Livejournal and Pyra Labs launched Blogger in 1999. Pitas was also created in the same year. Blogging became very popular and continued all the way till today.
