Felt that my claims to being instrumental in the early development of the social web needed visual evidence (though I'm sure you believe me really) :)
I searched for a social media guru famous for being a pioneer - especially in blogging - a decade ago. I picked the one with the highest profile for this. I then looked up what I was doing in the same year. Hopefully you will see that I was at least his equal at that time.
I tried to do the same for Alltop.com but it was a roofing site back then. Some of the other sites won't load. There will be missing pics and dead links - this is neither my fault nor Mr Brogan's - the Wayback Machine isn't perfect. Also, don't try to email from these sites/blogs or sign up to newsletters.
Let me know your thoughts. I'm happy to share stories of the very early social web. I blogged on humorous issues, celebrities, web development, and luxury products.
Typical! My link doesn't work. Ah well... try this one: Spoil Them Rotten - month before Mr B's from the look of it. Hope you enjoy the story of my skirt falling down in Pall Mall. V embarassing! :P
