NGFL Signing Off?
Back in ‘98, the whole blogging thing was still fresh, and Dave Winer started a free hosting service, called EditThisPage.com. It later evolved into Weblogs.com. Hans jumped at the occasion, invited Tom and I to join ngfl.editthispage.com. NGFL stands for Nice Guys Finish Last. Since then, Winer has left Userland, to teach at Harvard, and Userland has decided to cut some costs by closing down Weblogs.com. So NGFL is about to disappear, I guess. Maybe this is for the best, updates had been sporadic. Since then, we’ve all moved on, Hans, Tom and I are no longer colleagues, unfortunately. Still, the end of an era.
