History
“MacInTouch” began as an independent print journal in 1985, originally published by Ford-LePage Inc., to provide news and information about Macintosh computers. The MacInTouch Home Page website, created by Ric Ford in 1994, was serving daily Mac news and information to more than a million people by 1998. It's noted as being one of several blog-style sites that predate the definition of a blog.
MacInTouch Inc. is incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
