This blog is eleven years old today.

But really, who cares on a day when:

- [*Mail Online* took over *Metro Online*](https://web.archive.org/web/20140307121538/http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/03/05/daily-mail-metro-websites%5Fn%5F4902378.html)
- [Flipboard bought Zite](http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/05/technology/flipboard-cnn-zite/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com)
- [BBC Three heads to being an online-only channel](https://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/mar/05/bbc3-axed-director-general-plans-tony-hall?ref=onemanandhisblog.com)

It’s interesting tracking the relative ages of those things, though. BBC Three is less than a month older than this blog – it was [launched on the 9th February 2003](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-26452235?ref=onemanandhisblog.com). While *Metro* newspaper dates back to 1999, the website appears to [have launched in 2004](http://www.theguardian.com/media/2009/mar/16/metro-newspaper-10-years-anniversary?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) – making it younger than this blog. Flipboard and Zite are both whippersnappers, both around three years old.

So, I need to face it. This blog, while not even teenager, is *old*. But while it may be old, at least it has stamina…

(Can I just extend my sympathies to [Kevin](http://charman-anderson.com/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) and [John](https://twitter.com/johncthompson?ref=onemanandhisblog.com), both of whom are big Zite users, and both of whom are probably in mourning right now…)
