Justin Hall, who is he?

Ever heard about Justin Hall?

He's the pioneer of all bloggers.
He's the first Web diarists.

It was started when he was 20 years old and still a student in Swathorne college.
He made a homepage of his own and wrote in it about his life,
and the most private sides of him.
He wrote about his father who committed suicide when he was 8 years old, his school friends, even his sexual biography. Phew!

For eleven years, he posted more than 4800 pages in his homepage.
From what I have counted, in my conclusion, he published more than one page everyday for eleven years....

(It's not an entry anymore.It's a PAGE!)

Did he do something useless?
Or maybe some people will comment: "Like there's no other thing to do..."

Everybody could have their opinion about Justin,
But no one can deny the fact that what he did had made a worldwide effect.

Nowadays, millions peoples in the world became a blogger (and the number keep increases every minute...).
Let me say that there are more than two millions of active-users and almost 400 new entries are posted every minute in livejournal website.
It's only one example, dont forget to mention other similar website like blogspot, wordpress, or blog features in friendster, ect, ect.....

I imagined, what if someone suddenly tells to Justin in summer 1994 that what he did at that time will followed by million peoples ten years later?
He probably will say:
"You are crazy...." then he will laugh and shake his head.


I dont admire Justin Hall as a person,
but I've learnt something from him.

If you want to do something,
although it's simple (or better if it's UNIQUE),
but you are focus in it and do it with totality,
you will achieve something BIG from what you do,
or even inspiring others...

Look at Justin,
by made people blogging,
he could inspired many peoples indirectly from those bloggers' writing ;p

One more thing,
Justin is the only person who has reasons to laugh at bloggers albeit the quality of their writings (even the most uplifting one!) and say:
"Others can only follow!"
