Another early blog was Wearable Wireless Webcam, an online shared diary of a person's personal life combining text, digital video, and digital pictures transmitted live from a wearable computer and [[EyeTap]] device to a web site in 1994. This practice of semi-automated blogging with live video together with text was referred to as [[sousveillance]], and such journals were also used as evidence in legal matters. Some early bloggers, such as The Misanthropic Bitch, who began in 1997,
The first research paper about blogging was [[Torill Mortensen]] and [[Jill Walker Rettberg]]'s paper "Blogging Thoughts",<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Mortensen |first1=Torill |last2=Walker|first2=Jill|date=2002|title=Blogging thoughts: personal publication as an online research tool|url=https://bora.uib.no/bora-xmlui/bitstream/handle/1956/13070/Blogging-Thoughts.pdf |via=Bergen Open Research Archive |journal=Researching ICTs in Context|pages=249–279 |url-status=live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20220228073152/https://bora.uib.no/bora-xmlui/bitstream/handle/1956/13070/Blogging-Thoughts.pdf|archive-date= Feb 28, 2022 }}</ref> which analysed how blogs were being used to foster research communities and the exchange of ideas and scholarship, and how this new means of networking overturns traditional power structures.

Gartner analysts expected that the novelty value of the medium will wear off as most people who are interested in the phenomenon have checked it out, and new bloggers will offset the number of writers who would later abandon their creation out of boredom. The firm estimated that there are more than 200 million former bloggers who have ceased posting to their online diaries, creating an exponential rise in the amount of "dotsam" and "netsam" — that is to say, unwanted objects on the Web (analogous to flotsam and jetsam). -->
