Remember Blogger? These days, all the web buzz is about Twitter and realtime nattering but the Google-owned weblog publisher is still going and it’s about to turn 10. And to celebrate a decade online it’s about to launch a bunch of new features.
Way back when, on August 23 1999, when Wi-Fi meant there was a bad smell in the room and the cast of Friends all had mullets, Blogger was founded. It was to prove pivotal in sparking the blogging phenomenon of the early 2000s and still has millions of users around the globe. Now Blogger is about to unleash a whole bunch of features on them.
Blogger has not said what precisely what they are, but strongly hinted that they’ll include some of the features on this here list, including proper pages, separate from posts, a new commenting system and the ability to split long posts with a Read More feature.
None of these are groundbreaking features, but Blogger’s selling point has been sheer simplicity so if you’re keen on giving the world your two cents in posts a bit longer than 140 characters, keep an eye out in the coming days.
