Today is the seventh anniversary of the launch of Jeffrey Zeldman Presents. Is this the longest running weblog/journal/daily report?
I think DaveNet / Scripting News is the longest running weblog. (Or so he claims here). His archives go back to '94.

Dave Winer:
I did my first weblog in February 1996, as part of the 24 Hours of Democracy website. It helped glue the community together, along with a mail list that was hosted by AOL. In April 1996 I started a news page for Frontier users, which became Scripting News on 4/1/97.Jeffrey Zeldman:

mfbridges, Dave will be very happy to see that someone has tasted his Kool-Aid. Of course, your mention assures us that he won't come here and get pissed that he's not mentioned in the thread, so I guess we have to thank you.
Also, happy birthday, Jeffrey...
