When did BLOG started?

It was said that the earliest blog started on the late 1990's as online diaries. Individuals posted information on a daily basis about their lives, reflections, and opinions. At a later time, this evolved with the integration of added features to create a two-way intercommunication. The followers or readers took advantage of the features that allowed them to leave comments on blog entries or link to posts on other blogs and websites to further the conversation.

Aside from serving as an online diary or journal, Google Inc. devised a sweeping marketing strategy of attracting different companies to let them advertise their products or programs to maximize their earnings by posting advertisements to blogs and websites which is commonly known as Adsense.

This makes any person aging 18 and above earn money easily and for free in a legit way. The Google Inc.'s strategy made a stepping stone in further raising the fever and craze of blogging!
