Weblogs

Weblogs.com is a site originally created by UserLand Software and later maintained by Dave Winer, one of the founders of RSS. In 2005, the Weblogs.com assets were acquired by VeriSign, who recognised the infrastructural significance of the service. Around the same time VeriSign also acquired Moreover Technologies, an original news aggregator set up... in 1998 and led by Nick Denton. The Moreover team managed the Weblogs.com service within VeriSign, and integrated it with its news and social media aggregation business. In May 2009, after embarking on a new strategic direction, VeriSign divested of Moreover to an investor group led by Paul Farrell. The Weblogs.com ping server transferred to Moreover as part of this move. On October 20, 2014, LexisNexis® Legal & Professional, a leading provider of content and technology solutions and part of Reed Elsevier, acquired Moreover Technologies, Inc. Now under LexisNexis, Weblogs.com continues to operate as a free, open access ping server.
