Blogger is a weblog publishing system owned by Google since 2003.
Blogger enables blogs to be hosted on its own servers (http://www.blogspot.com/) or on the server of the blogger's choosing, transferred via FTP or SFTP.
Blogger was launched in August 1999 as one of the earliest dedicated blog-publishing tools; it is credited for helping popularize the form.
Blogger, which he and a small team launched in August 1999, did not invent the web log or "blog" - a frequently updated, diary-like commentary usually filled with links to other websites.
Yet, aside from a deal to license Blogger technology, the main source of revenue for the service comes from BlogSpot, where bloggers pay $12 a year not to have adverts on their pages.
Williams got the service fixed, partly thanks - again - to the weblog community's help: local users pointed him in the direction of a fast internet connection at a nearby cybercafe.
