"No Web phenomenon is more confounding than blogging. Everything media experts knew about audiences – and they knew a lot – confirmed the focus group belief that audiences would never get off their butts and start making their own entertainment.

What a shock, then, to witness the near-instantaneous rise of 50 million blogs, with a new one appearing every two seconds."

Great piece by @Jayhoffmann, 'We Are Still the Web': thehistoryoftheweb.com/we-are-

The History of the Web · We Are Still the Web - The History of the WebTwenty years ago, Kevin Kelly wrote an absolutely seminal piece for Wired. This week is a great opportunity to look back at it.

To be honest, I never really got this fedi integration thing with blogs. All they seem to do is quietly post your stuff onto Fedi without telling you and you look it up and find there's an account out there and you can't really do anything with it and it's a bit weird.

Congratulations to @john and the rest of the @index Ghost team for launching their 6.0 version!
