> The first was started in high school in 2001 by myself and a bunch of friends, and outdates the term “blog”. That’s definitely early, but the term blog predates it by a couple of years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog#History > The term "weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger on December 17, 1997. The short form "blog" was coined by Peter Merholz, who jokingly broke the word weblog into the phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog Peterme.com in May 1999. Shortly thereafter, Evan Williams at Pyra Labs used "blog" as both a noun and verb ("to blog", meaning "to edit one's weblog or to post to one's weblog") and devised the term "blogger" in connection with Pyra Labs' Blogger product, leading to the popularization of the terms.
