I'm currently reading 'Coders at Work', which includes an interview with Brad Fitzpatrick, founder of LiveJournal.
'Commenting on LiveJournal was a practical joke. I was checking my LiveJournal right before I ran into class. We had just introduced friend pages and I saw something my friend wrote and it was really stupid and I wanted to make fun of him. "Oh, but I can't reply." ... I had a two-hour break between classes, so I add commenting and I reply something smartass and sarcastic and go to my other class. When I came back from my second class, he's like "What the fuck? We can comment now?'
