id Software used finger heavily during the 90s with regular .plan updates.

There's an archive of John Carmack's .plan files here:

This.

Blogging predates all blogging services, platforms, and software. Blogging was invented by early web pioneers. The corporations followed in the Gold Rush of the 1990s dot-com bubble, and they've been trying to monetize our social lives ever since.

Nowadays, thanks to marketing machines and television talking heads, nobody has "websites" anymore, we have "blogs".

I think I first blogged in the early 2000's with Blog Spot (which became Blogger). It was great.
