This post started as a late night tweet summarizing (in less than 140 characters) the story of writing hence the title of the post. Here’s the original tweet.
From 4,000 BC to 1992: Pre-web era. Writing
The representation of language in a textual medium through the use of a set of signs or symbols is known as a writing system. Around the 4th millennium BC, the complexity of trade and administration outgrew the power of memory, and writing became a more dependable method of recording and presenting transactions in a permanent form
From 1992 to 1997: Web 1.0. Online copywriting
Copywriting is the use of words to promote a person, business, opinion or idea. The term may be applied to any content regardless of media (print, radio, television, or online media).
From 1997 to 2004: Web 2.0. Blogging
A blog (a contraction of the term “weblog”) is a type of website with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
From 2004 to 2008: Social web. Posting
Like in Facebook when u post stuff 2 ur friend’s wall such as:
sup? will upload pics from last party… check’em l8er
From 2008 to present time: Live web. RT
RT @my_tweep EPIC WIN ->I haz my pics O_o <-LOL or WTF?! :D

Looking for some naming tips I stumbled upon this funny name generator. It even checks the availability of the domain. Kewl.

I was following the life coverage of Steve Jobs Keynote at Macworld yesterday via Engadget waiting for the final “one more thing” thing. Well this time the rumors got it right and out of the envelope came the much hyped MacBookAir; a nice piece of engineering, design and portability.
As usual, the day after I rushed to iTunes to learn from the master of all em cees only to realize that the whole keynote is available at a cost of a 1Gb download (must be HD) and some 45 minutes of your iLife. I obviously cancelled the download.
But thanks to a comment by Xavier I found a version on YouTube where you get about the same info in a minute plus the fun of the edit.

People are more than excited about today Steve Jobs’ keynote and the term MacBookAir is blogged about everywhere.
I’ll be following the event via Engadget.com life blogging as I did last year (this year they even have Spanish).
If you want to follow it here’s the schedule:
07:00AM – Hawaii
09:00AM – Pacific
10:00AM – Mountain
11:00AM – Central
12:00PM – Eastern
05:00PM – GMT / London
06:00PM – Paris
08:00PM – Moscow
02:00AM – Tokyo (January 16th)
But as much as I enjoy the keynote with Jobs’ “booms” and “one more things” I enjoy the rumors prior to it. Here’s a compilation of predictions taken from the comments at Engadget.com.
- Steve is going to wear a black turtleneck w/ jeans tucked into jeans sans belt.
- Not only that, I bet Steve’s first words will be, “Good Morning”
- People are going to applaud when no applause is necessary
- Yellow Submarine iPod, Beatles music
- 1 more thing = iSoap. Cleans all mac touch-based products
- one more thing announcement: “I’m retiring”
- Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr on stage to announce the Beatles on iTunes
- iPhone SDK will be Android
- He will announce that those who take his apple-flavored serum will be invited into Promise City, and the rest will remain at the Gates.
They’re all funny but somehow they make you think.
And one more thing: the macbookair.com domain registration and the redirection to http://www.apple.com/?Will+We+see+a+MacBookAir+on+Tuesday is a fake.
