In 1982 Jim Howard started a bulletin board system (BBS) and it became one of the first online sites in the world. It was one of the first blogs. When the www was invented, in 1995, Jim moved Howard's Notebook. It is still going after more than 35 years. He still has some of the people from the old BBS days reading his blog.

Many people think that Howard's Notebook is the first blog.
It was one of the first sites to do live streaming video. Not easy back in the "old" days.

"Link-Up Magazine" picked Howard's Notebook as one of the ten best online sites in 1984.
