It was a global archive of every usenet newsgroup post, went offline for a a year or so and then came back as Google Groups. It made a difference because whatever you might claim about newsgroup and poster history could be proved or disproved by anyone who could be bothered to do a quick search of the archives. What I'm thinking is that somebody somewhere may produce a similar service for blogs, by collating an independently date stamped global archive of RSS and atoms feeds as they appear. So you could fool some of the people some of the time by retro posting to your own blog but you wouldn't be able to fool the archive miners. Remember dejanews?

Peoples' memories are so short. But then I did blog about this back in 1556... Nostradamus was the first to do this, predicting events that had already happened, thereby building a reputation.
