2002—Blogger.com − 1 January, 2002
Though originally released in 1999, this website where users could create a weblog for free didn’t hit its stride until 2002 when it claimed over 750,000 users. At first weblogs were used by individuals to log daily commentary, but they gradually gained commercial acceptance as a means to track product history and within academia as a means for students to share information about themselves. Google purchased Blogger in 2002.
