Justin Hall Talks About Putting His Life Online as a Pioneering Blogger at the 2014 XOXO Festival in Portland, Oregon

At the 2014 XOXO Festival in Portland, Oregon back in September, Justin Hall talks about his site Justin’s Links from the Underground, through which he put his life online, long before blogging became the norm.

For over 20 years, Justin Hall has shared his life online. From a 19-year-old student experimenting with sex, drugs, and the Internet, readers have followed the most intimate details of his life, including his father’s suicide, a failed startup, a marriage and painful divorce. Now, one of blogging’s pioneers is making an independent film and video series to make sense of it all.
