Who's my blog daddy?

Posted at 10:59 AM on March 20, 2007 by Jon Gordon

Blogs are about to turn 10, according to Declan McCullagh and Ann Broache of CNET News.com. Snippet:

It may not be one of the Internet's grandest accomplishments, but with the number of active bloggers hovering somewhere around 100 million, according to one estimate, there are some serious bragging rights to be claimed by the first person who provably laid fingers to keyboard in the traditional bloggy way.

Was the first blogger the irascible Dave Winer? The iconoclastic Jorn Barger? Or was the first blogger really Justin Hall, a Web diarist and online gaming expert whom The New York Times Magazine once called the "founding father of personal blogging"?
