Fine, I'm willing to grant that your boring CGI-script updated homepage technically qualifies as a "weblog." A winner is you, I guess. Almost no one was interested in doing that kind of thing back in 1995, not because we were too dumb to wrap our Neanderthal brains around such a grand, paradigm-busting concept, but because it's totally lame and uninteresting. One might even compare it to an unfrosted cake.


I found Hokie's article via a link from the Joel on Software blog. I found the article to be both well thought out and interesting. I found Joel on Software through a link somewhere else (Slashdot? The Register?). The almighty A HREF was all the HIGH TECH needed to get me reading it. Then, I emailed him when I found out he was Hokie. Very little in the way of frosting involved there, no? You see, people don't read blogs because they're HIGH TECH, they read them because they're well written or interesting. Do I give a shit that Where is Raed? has an rss feed and a buddylist and smiley icons and Gopher support? Fuck no. I'm just there to read his updates because they're interesting. Please also to be noting my lack of interest in his cat and/or 6 meg animated gif backgrounds.

Another thing you fail to take into consideration is that, technologically, there was nothing holding back the development of these hyperglycemic features. Sure, you'd be roughing it back in 95, but a lot of present-day functionality existed in sko ur-form as far back as the wild west pre-net BBS days. Not that it even matters. All blogs are are an easy way to put thoughts on the page. HOW TOTALLY LAME AND UNINTERESTING. Dumbass.
