Blogspot's blog posts archived before WWW created... lol



Haha... Isnt it really funny. While browsing, i came across some of the blog posts archived even before WWW(World Wide Web) created...
You can look at the screenshots in the left and right hand side.

I'm just wondering how Google's blogger allowed to have such things...?

Is it really possible to pre-post the blogs even before the WWW & Blog was created?

It left me to research when was really WWW created?
I just searched on Wiki, to get the answer..,
From Wiki,
"...The World Wide Web was created in 1989 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee from England, and Robert Cailliau from Belgium, working at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland..."

Hope Wiki is not lying to me... ;-) . Hmm... So i thought Blog must be created after WWW was created... I guess you might be guessing the same.. some research vaguely shows, from wiki,

Usenet was the primary serial medium included in the original definition of the World Wide Web.[3][not in citation given] It featured the Moderated Newsgroup which allowed all posting in a newsgroup to be under the control of an individual or small group. Most such newsgroups were simply moderated discussion forums, however, in 1983-84, one exception, named mod.ber, was created, named after and managed by an individual: Brian E. Redman. Regularly, Redman and a few associates posted summaries of interesting postings and threads taking place elsewhere on the net. With its serial journal publishing style, presence on the pre-HTTP web and strong similarity to the common blog form which features links to interesting and cool places on the net chosen by the blogger, mod.ber had many of the characteristics commonly associated with the term Blog [citation needed][original research?]. It ceased operation after approximately 8 months. Brad Templeton calls the newsgroup rec.humor.funny (which he founded) the world's oldest still existing blog.
hmm... But when was Google's blogger created?
Pyra Labs is the company that coined the word Blogger, and made the service a big success...The service was made available to the public in August 1999...the company was acquired by Google in 2003.


Hmm.. Okie... When was these blogs created which i had given screenshots?
damn... I should have done that before... lol

Why does Blogger allows to archive the blog posts of 1987?

Or is it something modified in the code or something?
I'll be glad to know the reason.. if anyone knows it..

If anybody wants the URLs of these blogs.. Post comments..
