The first form of writing native to the web....?

Posted January 26, 2003 3:51 PM.

I've heard it before and I know it's not a particularly stunning thing to say, but I still feel a weird rush of pride and enthusiasm when someone says something like this: "Weblogs are arguably the first form that is native to the Web. They emerged from two key elements of the Web: hypertext and the ability for anyone with an Internet connection to create a Web page." [NY News]
