Informal Friday poll: what year did you start blogging? I've put a poll with some timeframes below, but if you want to add some colour please leave a comment. As I mentioned in my post today (cybercultural.com/p/blogs-rss-…), I started blogging in 2002, with Radio Userland. It took me a year to start ReadWriteWeb, though 😀

So, when did you start blogging?
