Some online excerpts from Scott Rosenberg's just-published history of blogging, Say Everything. Even if you've been following this stuff pretty closely over the years, it's an interesting read.

This post by Anil Dash is cited in the book; it's funny how people think that blogging (like drinking and sex) began when they discovered it. Which is why my confident statement about journalism and blogging before the first BloggerCon in 2003 was so wrong, and another reason Say Everything is essential reading.
