On Jorn Barger’s 10 Tips For Bloggers
Sometime in 1997, Jorn Barger coined the term weblog, which was a collection of links to various stuff on the web that he somehow found interesting. Now, he gives to Wired 10 tips he thinks all bloggers should know.
Here’s the first one.
“A true weblog is a log of all the URLs you want to save or share. (So del.icio.us is actually better for blogging than blogger.com.)”
Erm, this is 2008. and we’re not doing it like that anymore, Jorn. Not that there’s anything wrong with a linkblog, but blogs are something else. Sometimes, when you coin a term, it takes a meaning of its own over the years.
Needless to say, all his other points are completely irrelevant to bloggers, but are quite cool if you have a linkblog.

no, this is not 2008 yet, i guess you are to eager for the year to end.
and his pints are still valid, considering the top 100 bloggers (not from a network) follow pretty much alll of his points just adapted to know, one clear example of this would be Scoble, kotke and of course Evan Williams.
but i know you like to disrespect the elders.

@Avatar: haha, yeah I guess I’m sick of 07. I’m just going to leave 2008 up there, time will prove me right in the end (;.
And no, I don’t agree with you. The guys you named are just too busy to do any real blogging. If they weren’t they’d probably write more and do less copy/pasting.

It got me also wondering, why his tips got so much attention. Kind of out-dated.
Although he says that his principles were understood in 1998-99.

It is interesting that the person who coined the term weblog could be so out of touch with the modern definition. This is a phenomenon unique to the web world. In what other context would you have “accidental” pioneers of an idea this huge?

Awesome info! I was honestly just thinking about something similar to this the other day so, it was almost “weird” when I ran across this. You would be surprised how many people simply have no idea when it comes to this kind of stuff. Anyway, thanks for getting this info out there and I’m sure I’m not the only one who appreciates you taking the time to post this for the masses.

Some time back, my 3-year old computer was running so slow that I had to buy a new computer. Or at least I thought I needed a new computer. Then within a matter of weeks of surfing on the Internet, my new computer was also running so slowly. In addition, some programs did not run well on my computer, and I did not recognize some of the programs that were running on my computer. That scared me most. Were these programs that were tracking my keystrokes on my computer or programs I just not remember installing? I knew I had to find a answer and solution fast. The truth is, we can all put up with a slow computer, but very few of us would want others to have access to the information on our computers, but that is exactly what can happen when spyware or malware is loaded on our computers without our knowledge.
