Abstract
Identifying similarities and differences between microblogs and earlier communication technology situates microblogs within a longer history of communication technology. In this paper, I compare the audience, content, style, and format of historical diaries from the 18th and 19th centuries to that of microblogs today. The similarities suggest a long- standing desire of people to chronicle and share everyday life events.
