So, this past week marked the tenth anniversary of blogging. Good coverage in Saturday’s Wall Street Journal. As with most things Web2.0, it stirred up some controversy. Andy Beal has a good thread. But at the end of the day, does it really matter who started blogging? I am sure someone wants the recognition, and kudos to you, really. But, it’s been ten years, so let’s start thinking of how we can all use the tool of blogging to our benefit. There are countless studies out there by third parties that validate blogging and its place in our society. So, why hesitate? Join the masses. And I am not just saying that because I have my own blog, but because I truly believe that blogging, and all “new media” for that matter is just going to be how life is. You can relate it back to the Web and e-mail. Did we ever think that we would rely on email as much as we do now? I can tell you, when I started in PR ten years ago, email was not part of my job! It was all fax and yes, postal mail. So, here we are ten years later, no more faxes and I would almost venture to say, going down the road of ending email as we know it. So, to all the bloggers who are celebrating a Blogiversary, Congratulations. And for those who haven’t started yet, what are you waiting for?
