The First on Web
The First Email: The histories of ideas and concepts are at least as they are interesting, and it's usually difficult to point to a historical "first". Still, there must have been a first of everything and luckily we know quite a bit about how it come about and when it happened. In 1971, the ARPANET was little more than connected computers, and those who knew about it searched for possible uses of this invention. Richard W. Watson thought of a way to deliver messages and files to printers at remote sites in 1971. He filled his "Mail Box Protocol" as a draft standard, but the protocol was never implemented. Another person interested in sending messages between computers was Ray Tomlinson. SNDMSG, a program that could deliver messages to another person on the same computer network had been around for about ten years already. It delivered these messages by appending to a file owned by the user another user wanted to reach.Thursday, 20 September 2012

Launched on Blogger
A blog (a portmanteau of the term web log) is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web and consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent post appears first). Until 2009 blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often were themed on a single subject. More recently "multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and professionally edited. MABs from newspapers, other media outlets, universities, think tanks, interest groups and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic. The rise of Twitter and other "microblogging" systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into societal newstreams. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
