It's a good ten years the internet has been growing and stretching to accomodate blogs, morphing into a truly social animal full of divergent voices, opinions, and good old fashioned creativity.
It's ten years since the 'official' birth of the blog, and high time we knew the name of the father of all blogs, according to CNET:

"Was the first blogger the irascible Dave Winer? The iconoclastic Jorn Barger? Or was the first blogger really Justin Hall, a Web diarist and online gaming expert whom The New York Times Magazine once called the 'founding father of personal blogging'?"

With a timeline dating back to 1977 and lots of in-article links to various stops along the history of the weblog, the piece, entitled 'Blogs turn 10-Who's the Father?" is a must-read for those tuned in to the blogosphere as well as those just curious about how this whole thing got started.
