In 1993, he began a profitable seven-year relationship with America Online, where he taught two classes a week, year-round and blogged extensively. He used one of the first online blogging services (from Pyra Labs) in late 1999, creating the Hollywood HQ blog. Since then, Crews has created a dozen blogs – including Aardvark, Comedy Squared, Rational Thought, UU InfoNet and Serendipity DooDah.
