Who Was The First Blogger?

CNET News.com asks the question: Blogs turn 10--who's the father?:

"It may not be one of the Internet's grandest accomplishments, but with the number of active bloggers hovering somewhere around 100 million, according to one estimate, there are some serious bragging rights to be claimed by the first person who provably laid fingers to keyboard in the traditional bloggy way".

There appear to be quite a number of credible candidates for the title of Blogger Numero Uno.
