Speaking Topics: blogging | blogs | online communities | social networking

I've been online since 1995, and blogging since 1996 (though the word 'blog' wasn't invented until 1999, so I guess for three years I was just 'writing stuff and uploading it on my website').

I've been an active member of many different online communities over the years, and seen the internet transform from a niche experience for geeks to the everyday medium it is today.
