It's blogging time

Bruce Ableson after graduating from Michigan State University with a degree in Telecommunications, worked for several years as a systems consultant and programmer. During this time, Ableson developed X which was launched on October 20, 1998. Ableson built the first system for blog comments, and also innovated the use of friend's list privacy settings and activity feeds thereby  becoming the first blog community where readers could add comments to other writers' blog entries on the site.These features have led some to credit Ableson's site and inventions to be the beginnings of social media.
