Re: Is Scrapbox a “Blog”? from [/villagepump/Scrapbox is a “blog”?](https://scrapbox.io/villagepump/Scrapbox is a “blog”?)

  • First of all, there was Web Diary before the word “blog” was popular
  • 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.
      • Facebook also supported Japanese at the same time.
  • In light of this trend, here’s what I wrote in 2017 - The blog was dismantled and became a social networking site and Scrapbox.
    • 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.
