February 18 over the years. Last year on this day Evan Williams said: "It's hard to believe there are people at Google who don't get the Web." The year before that, on this day, Glenn Fleishman wrote about Google acquiring DejaNews, and thereby rescuing 500 million early UseNet postings. On this day in Y2K, Montana News Daily, a Manila site that doesn't update anymore, said: "I never thought of Charles Kuralt as a lady killer." Me neither. Voila, a perspective shift. The thing that weblogs are so good at. Guys if you want to get laid you can have an egghead as a role model. Nice. Relaxing. Girls, it's okay to love a geek, even lust for one. One more. On this day in 1995, I wrote an essay that people still read, that predicted weblogs. [Scripting News] comment [] 8:25:06 AM
