It was Justin Hall, an American freelance journalist. He started blogging in 1994 at 'Justin's Links from the Underground'. Over time, the blog evolved to contain about 4800 posts; some of them about intimate details of Hall's life.
Interestingly, an ex-gf asked him to remove entries about her from the blog, to which he refused. Justin Hall was also featured in the documentary, the Home Page.
Another interesting early bloggers that I read about is 'the misanthrophic bitch'. This blog was written anonymously. She introduced herself as a student living in New York. She has written maligning comments about celebrities like Bill Clinton, Princess Diana and James Cameron. She also wrote on controversial topics like abortion and child abuse.
Hmmm...food for thought on the history of blogging..: )
