The history of blogging starts with several digital precursors to it. Before "blogging" became popular, digital communities took many forms, including Usenet, commercial online services such as GEnie, BiX and the early CompuServe, e-mail lists and Bulletin Board Systems (BBS). In the 1990s, Internet forum software, such as WebEx, created running conversations with "threads".
The world of blogging developed from online diaries, which
started in 1994, just a few years after the world wide web was created.
Today, a blog is created every second and at the end of last year there
were over 60 million blogs worldwide.The term blog is short for 'web log', meaning a regularly
updated collection of links to other sites and comments – which was
originally coined by Jorn Barger in 1997. His site 'Robot Wisdom' was
one of the first blogs.In 1999 new software services like Blogger and LiveJournal launched making blogs much simpler to create.
The world of text blogs expanded to include photos, audio ('podcasting') and video blogging – sometime called vlogs.
