Looking for a blogging platform to use? Well, there are many different platforms to check out there. There\u2019s Tumblr<\/a>, WordPress<\/a>, LiveJournal<\/a> and SquareSpace to consider, among others. But one that you might want to start out with that has been on the internet for the longest time is Blogger<\/a>.<\/p>\n History<\/strong><\/p>\n Blogger was first started by a small San Francisco-based company in August of 1999. Things didn\u2019t start grand though. It was basically run by 3 friends who got funded by doing contract web projects for several bigger companies. Their goal was to create their own entrance into the cyberworld.<\/p>\n With some time and effort, Blogger eventually took off and became even bigger over the years. There were rough goings throughout the adventure but everything turned up all worth it when Google took interest in acquiring the site.<\/p>\n In 2002, Google bought Blogger and has since focused on helping people represent themselves on the internet as well as on organizing the world\u2019s information from their own perspective.<\/p>\n Why People Use Blogger<\/strong><\/p>\n Blogger, as its name suggests, is a blogging platform that people generally use for two reasons. These are:<\/p>\n People typically use Blogger to share more of their stories to people they genuinely care about. With the recent Google+ integration, it has even become much faster and easier to reach as many new readers as possible and get them participating in conversations that posts may inspire.<\/p>\n Blogger features several income-generating tools that users can take advantage of. Whether it\u2019s Google AdSense or some other ad relevant to them, users get to choose where they want their ads to go and what they want these to look like.<\/p>\n\n
