- Blogs have evolved from personal diaries to promotional tools over the years.
- Early 2000s blogs were personal, with daily updates and little concern for privacy.
- Modern blogs are often niche-focused, aiming to promote products or services.
- Short-form microblogging platforms like Twitter and Tumblr have changed reading habits.
- Technical blogs and personal notes dominate platforms like Hacker News today.
- Early blogs had a smaller audience, often limited to friends and acquaintances.
- Screen names and limited photo sharing provided a layer of anonymity in the past.
