4 years of blogging for me too

Written by Richard MacManus / March 26, 2006 8:43 PM / 4 Comments

First I noticed Paolo's post on 4 years blogging (via Dave), then Phil's post. The bizarre part is I started blogging on the exact same day, 21 March 2002, as my fellow kiwi Phil Pearson - we even blogged about the same topic, RCS (Radio Community Server). I didn't get to know Phil until a couple of years after that, so it was total coincidence we started blogging on the same day. It's no coincidence though that Phil, Paolo and I were all inspired to start blogging 4 years ago by Dave Winer - who's just coming up to 9 years blogging! Yikes, we're all pups compared to that.

My first Radio Userland blog was called 'Modern Web' and was short-lived (more info here). But about about a year later Read/WriteWeb was born. Here's a screenshot of the first blog.

  1. Heh, so we both started blogs on 21/3/2002, which didn't last so long before being replaced by our "real" blogs (mine in July 2002, yours in April 2003).

  3. Well, I for one have learned a lot from you 'old timers', and just want to say thanks for sharing so freely.

  4. Well done, as an on/off visitor for the past couple of years, it's a testament to the quality of content that you're still around.
