Now we are eleven...
This blog is eleven years old today.
But really, who cares on a day when:
- Mail Online took over Metro Online
- Flipboard bought Zite
- BBC Three heads to being an online-only channel
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. While Metro newspaper dates back to 1999, the website appears to have launched in 2004 – 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 and John, both of whom are big Zite users, and both of whom are probably in mourning right now…)
