Alex, let me tell you a story about blogs. This year it will be the 20th anniversary of the term 'Blog'.
In 1997 John Barger created a simple web diary that he named '*Weblog*'. Soon after that, Peter Merholz created his own weblog but shifted the words and named it '*we blog*'. Shortly thereafter, people started to use '*blog*' to refer to editing web logs or the content itself. The blogging was such a great idea. It literally changed the world forever. Growing slowly at the start, gaining momentum by only a handful of bloggers, it was 5 years later that blogging started to grow more rapidly. Good bloggers started to attract groups of followers, like-minded people who were reading their blog posts and liking them, sharing them - with one word - *collaborating*. Good bloggers knew that the most important thing for them was their *Community. * And wow, 10 years later, suddenly the whole world was blogging or talking about blogs. Politicians adopted it. Corporate America adopted it. McDonnalds created their own blog. Even hey, the penguins on Antarctica started a blog. Blogging was such a success that so many software companies started a race to create new tools and means of blogging. Things like micro-blogging, meta-blogging, blog hosts gained momentum too. A few years ago, a company called Medium started yet another blog host website, or blog franchise if you will. It wasn't really a new idea but it was looking nice so people started to use it. It attracted more bloggers. Even Alex Hillman started a blog. It was a great blog, full of really insightful articles and essays. It helped a lot of coworking founders setup their own spaces and build their own communities. Even though the whole world was blogging, he managed to stand out and built a community around the coworking topic and helped thousands of people. Blogging changed the world forever, one community at a time. Cheers, Miro M.
