Blogging Since 1708 – Ben Hammersley Take

suw_small.jpgSuw Charman, a blog consultant, was at Our Social World in Cambridge, England last week.  We had a chance to meet at SuperNova2005 and I started reading her feed at that point.  Her personal blog is located here, and she blogs Strange Attractor for Corante.  In Strange Attractor,  "Suw picks out patterns from the apparent chaos that is the blogosphere. She explores business blogging as well as adjacent territories such as social technologies, writing and storytelling, e-learning, digital rights and journalism."

She blogged about Ben Hammersley’s presentation of the 300 Year History of Blogging.  It is a very interesting look at DIY media from 1708 to the present day.  You can check out for yourself here.
