Tim Berners-Lee, the man behind HTML, the first web server (running on a NeXT cube), and the first web browser, has started his own weblog. From the first entry: “In 1989 one of the main objectives of the WWW was to be a space for sharing information. It seemed evident that it should be a space in which anyone could be creative, to which anyone could contribute. The first browser was actually a browser/editor, which allowed one to edit any page, and save it back to the web if one had access rights. Strangely enough, the web took off very much as a publishing medium, in which people edited offline. Now in 2005, we have blogs and wikis, and the fact that they are so popular makes me feel I wasn’t crazy to think people needed a creative space.”
I wish I someday put together something that bears only a tiny fraction as much promise as this.
Al Gore had a NeXT Cube?
“Don’t panic.” Priceless.
“Don’t panic.” Priceless.
Isn’t that supposed to be written in big friendly letters ?
And on the cover, yes.
That’s really cool, but 455 comments before he had to turn commenting off?? Wow. But this is really cool, I mean, like, a founding father and everything.
Kudos for using weblog instead of blog (at least in the title)
