Re: is Scrapbox a "blog"?
First of all, there was Web Diary before the word "blog" was popular Hatena Diary was released in 2003
Hatena Blog was released in 2011
It's also why old-timers call their blog-like things "diary". Early Web diaries were really just diaries on the Web.
However, with the advent of the blog system, comments and trackback functions were created, and it became a primitive form of SNS. If you post a link to an article, the person who wrote that article will be notified.
For example, Hatena Diary had a mechanism that if you wrote a user's ID with the ID notation (id:nishiohirokazu), that person would be notified that there is an article mentioning you (ID call). Like a Twitter Mention (@nishio)
Then social networking goes viral.
Twitter, released 2006
Landed in Japan in 2008
At the time, mixi (2004~) and Mobage (2006~) were all the rage.
Okubo: In 2008, social networking services such as "mixi" and "Mobage" were popular in Japan.
Mr. Sasaki: I thought it would be something completely different; it has a 140-character limit. Also, the primary information spreads overwhelmingly faster than other things, so I thought there were new possibilities.
Facebook also supported Japanese at the same time.
In light of this trend, here's what I wrote in 2017
The function of immediate distribution of information that blogs had been waiting for was eclipsed by Twitter and other social networking services.
The remaining part of the system is the function of stocking information, but the blogging system as of 2017 is weak at reusing past information.
So I decided to stop blogging and use Scrapbox and social networking.
Five years later, I look back.
Scrapbox as a place to stock information was, as expected, far better than a blog.
My Scrapbox, which grew up in 5 years, is more useful to me than the blog posts of the 5 years before that!
Communication on Scrapbox was something that worked well except
This is what I started thinking when I started getting into the well.
Wellhead has reinvented the Web diary.
Scrapbox as SNS]" is currently about "a primitive SNS on a 2005 blog system. Pastoral Internet. ---
