On the eve of the 15th anniversary of the World Wide Web, which he is credited as having created, Tim Berners-Lee has started a blog, reports the Associated Press. Berners-Lee writes in his second post that his timbl's blog "is at DIG, the Decentralised Information group at MIT's CSAIL. I intend it to be geeky semantic web stuff mostly." Berners-Lee first proposed the Web in 1989 at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

The project wasn't approved, but he ran with it anyway and made the first browser available by Christmas Day 1990.

In his first entry, Berners-Lee remarks on how the web took off as a one-way, publishing medium rather than a two-way medium that allowed readers to also also contribute information. He writes that the current popularity of blogs and wikis "makes me feel I wasn't crazy to think people needed a creative space."
