It was back on November 7, and I totally forgot about it. Sorry xBlog! We’ve been sitting here at our Mac for six years now, posting all the smart, useful, interesting visual communication links we find (and other stuff, too). So far that’s added up to well over 5,000 posts since that chilly day in 1999 when we let xBlog out of its development den. It’s been a lot of fun. We hope you still enjoy stopping by after all this time.

“We’ve been blogging just long enough (not quite a year now) to have spotted at least seven distinct types of traffic-generating blogging styles. Just as there are different styles of investing, there are different approaches to traffic generation. Aside from the occasional, reclusive J.D.Salingers, most writers want to be read as widely as possible. Some bloggers literally will do anything to gain audience, others have defined boundaries.”

“In an office on the fourth floor (room 404), they placed the World Wide Web’s central database: any request for a file was routed to that office, where two or three people would manually locate the requested files and transfer them, over the network, to the person who made that request.”
