...Is somewhat of a mystery. There are many people who can claim they are deserving of such a prestigious title, one of whom is Justin Hall. Hall started his online diary in 1994.
Another name to throw into the mix is Dave Winer, who launched the website Scripting News in 1997. Winer's website started linking viewers to other pages of interest, a key element in the future world of blogging.
What about John Barger? Barger first coined the term 'weblog' in 1997. This was then shortened into 'blog' by Peter Merholz in early 1999.
So as you can see, there is no definitive creator of the blogging phenomen. The names mentioned above have all impacted the way blogging works today, and there are countless others who have made their mark also.
