Nick Mudge’s Technology and Government Weblog

The guy who invented the Web, Tim Berners-Lee started a blog last week. He got 455 comments on his first post before he turned comments off.

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.

And then:

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.
