1999 feels right, with Blogger. It very quickly brought blogging to, if not the mainstream, a far bigger audience. Though maybe true Golden Age begins with the rise of WordPress in 2004. That’s when there were multiple platforms. The rise of Tumblr, then Twitter, suggests a new age around 2008-9.

As @slow.dog was saying elsewhere in this thread, there are probably two intertwined histories here: personal blogs and commercial blogs. I think Twitter changed the course of personal blogs, but the Hulk Hogan lawsuit against Gawker in 2013 changed commercial blogs.
