Jorn Barger

Jorn Barger (born 1953 in Yellow Springs, Ohio) is a United States writer, best known on the Internet as editor of "Robot Wisdom", an influential early weblog. He is often credited as coining the term "weblog" and sometimes also the shorter form "blog". Barger is also an expert on James Joyce.

Barger was living in Socorro, New Mexico as of late 2003. An outpouring of concern and speculation occurred in early 2004 because he had not been seen online for some months, but he had been known to take unexplained absences from the Internet in the past, and this turned out to indeed be the case.
