obanikoro2:

yea! it makes sense.

Thanks man.

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 sometimes wonder what we Africans are to Whites, they take us as fools. I wonder how diseases like HIV/AIDS, SARS, Bird flu all first discovered in white man's land is now turned to african disease; go to Oyinbo land you won't hear all the gingles about AIDS as in Nigeria and other African countries they also used WHO, UNICEF etc to gives us figures I don't know when they got it. Furthermore, whites take us as fools that they now regard AIDS as only African problem and disease, no wonder Thabo Mbeki's recent statement on AIDS. Again they produce drugs and give us like dogs. I would stop here to continue later its is not over yet. What your opinion?

Can u do me a favor by conducting a research on the age bracket of the average nairaland user

it would shock you to know that most, _{if not all}, are freshers or wit little experience!

Nice job though

Are you going to pay me for it obanikoro? Moreover, as you claim they are mostly youths they can tell their uncles and aunts. thanks

jermo I posted this for older nairaland members not for freshers
