Bloggeri ajalugu.

Blogger asututati 1999 aasta augustis väikses firmas nimega Pyra Labs, San Fransisco's. See oli netilehekülgede buumi aegadel. Kuid asutajad ei olnud finantsiliselt kindlustatud. Nad olid kolm sõpra, kes said raha selle eest, et tegid suurfirmadele kodulehekülgi. Samal ajal tahtsid nad ise sillutada endale teed netimaastikule. Algselt ei olnud Bloggeri tegemine neil küll plaanis, kuid kui saa valmis sai, arvasid nad, et see on päris huvitav ja jätsid Blogger.com'i alles.
Alguses oli blogger väike ja hiljem natuke suurem. Seda paari aasta jooksul. Koguti natukene raha, kuid siiski jäädi väikseks. Ja siis tuli kriis ja asutajatel ei olnud enam raha. Siis ei olnud enam üldse nii lõbus sellega tegeleda, kui varem. Siiski suudeti kokku jääda, mitte küll nii nagu algselt, kuid enam-vähem. Enamjaolt koguaeg oli Blogger kättesaadav.
Aastal 2002 läksid asjad taas hästi. Neil oli sadu tuhandeid kasutajaid, kes olid siiski vaid paar inimest. Ja siis juhtus midagi, mida keegi ei osanud oodata. Google soovis Bloggeri ära osta.
Google'ile meeldisid blogid, ja Bloggeri asutajatele meeldis Google, seega sujus kõik hästi.
Nüüd on Blogger väike, kuid natuke suurem tiim Google's. Nad keskenduvad inimeste aitamises, et neil oleks oma hääl netis ja korraldada maailma teavet isiklukust perspektiivist. Mis on olnud enam-vähem alati tiimi põhimõte.

A little bit of history of Wordpress

WordPress was born out of a desire for an elegant, well-architectured personal publishing system built on PHP and MySQL and licensed under the GPL. It is the official successor of b2/cafelog. WordPress is fresh software, but its roots and development go back to 2001. It is a mature and stable product. We hope by focusing on user experience and web standards we can create a tool different from anything else out there.

2005 was a very exciting year for WordPress, as it saw the release of our 1.5 version (introduced themes) which was downloaded over 900,000 times, the start of hosted service WordPress.com to expand WP's reach, the founding of Automattic by several core members of the WP team, and finally the release of version 2.0.

After 1.5 we seemed to have something people really liked and we've experienced some fairly rapid growth. Here are some metrics for 2006 and 2007.

In 2006 we had 1,545,703 downloads, in 2007 we had 3,816,965!

As for plugins we had 191,567 downloads of 371 unique plugins in 2006. In 2007 there were 2,845,884 downloads (15x growth) of 1,384 plugins.

2006 saw the introduction of the first WordCamp in San Francisco.

In 2007 we adopted a regular release schedule, putting out major feature releases roughly every 3-4 months, or three times a year.

Because of the number of improvements in version 2.5 we took an extra 3 months on it, but 2008 looks on track to do three major releases again. It will be a very exciting year.

There are now dozens of WordCamps around the world, from Vancouver to Dallas to Milan, Italy.

The Story of Blogger

Blogger was started by a tiny company in San Francisco called Pyra Labs in August of 1999. This was in the midst of the dot-com boom. But we weren't exactly a VC-funded, party-throwing, foosball-in-the-lobby-playing, free-beer-drinking outfit. (Unless it was other people's free beer.)

We were three friends, funded by doing annoying contract web projects for big companies, trying to make our own grand entrance onto the Internet landscape. What we were originally trying to do doesn't matter so much now. But while doing it, we created Blogger, more or less on a whim, and thought — Hmmm... that's kinda interesting.

Blogger took off, in a small way, and eventually a bigger way, over a couple years. We raised a little money (but stayed small). And then the bust happened, and we ran out of money, and our fun little journey got less fun. We narrowly survived, not all in one piece, but kept the service going the whole time (most days) and started building it back up.

Things were going well again in 2002. We had hundreds of thousands of users, though still just a few people. And then something no one expected happened: Google wanted to buy us. Yes, that Google

We liked Google a lot. And they liked blogs. So we were amenable to the idea. And it worked out nicely.

Now we're a small (but slightly bigger than before) team in Google focusing on helping people have their own voice on the web and organizing the world's information from the personal perspective. Which has pretty much always been our whole deal.

I'm surrounded by your embrace

Selle blogi tegin ma tegelt ennekõike oma uurimistöö jaoks. Vahel tuleb ka siia paar muud asja. Näiteks see lõbus, tore ja huvitav inka essee. (: *sarkastiline irve*

Mida ma tahaksin kirjutada:

Should we keep customs and traditions alive?

That's just the stupidest question I have ever heard. In that area at least. Of course we shouldn't! Who needs traditions? Let's live every day like there's no tomorrow and like there hasn't been history. Why do we need traditions? Why should we arrange song festivals every year? Why? That's not necessary! We have nothing important to remember with this.
In more narrow area than Estonia. Why should we go and sing a birthday song to our family members? Just 'cause that's something we've done since the dawn of time? No! That's stupidity. We really shouldn't.
Also we shouldn't paint eggs or bring Christmas tree when it's Christmas. Those are just traditions and there are no reasons for doing it. It would be freaking lovely, if all the old traditions would just disappear. All the old and new songs that people are are singing in the festival. It would be perfect, if our grand-children knew nothing about them and sing Jonas Brothers's songs instead. If they're singing at all.
And why the egg painting for example? Why should we take ourselves a sunday where we are at home with our families and eat and paint eggs? It's a Christian tradition. And why should we follow it? It's not like it was a big deal when Jesus decided to wake up from dead. Jeez! Nowadays people do that all the time. Why don't we honor other people? First come, first served, right?
Last but nor least. Ironating is my second nature and only the first two sentences were true. Honestly.

Mida ma tegelikult Virvele jutustan:

Should we keep customs and traditions alive?

Estonians have many traditions. For example every summer there's a song and dance festival, most of Estonians bring home a fir tree, when it's Christmas, at Easter people paint eggs with their families. Every family also has their own traditions.
Where would we be without traditions? Traditions mean a lot to a nation. When Estonia was taken over by Russia, then Estonians came out of it as a nation, because they maintained their traditions. If people would have taken over the Russian traditions we would not have Estonia like this nowadays.
In Soviet times people didn't have Christmas. It was forbidden to celebrate Christmas in December like we do nowadays. It used to have a different name and it was celebrated in the New Years Eve. But Estonians would still celebrate Christmas. They used to bring inside some straw and made a goat out of straw too. This shows us that traditions may change with time.
I do think that we should keep traditions and customs alive, because a nation is not a nation without customs. Traditions is what makes a group of people living in the same land a nation. It is nature's normal course that things change. So do traditions, but there are things that remain the same though. Traditions must stay alive!
