Anil Dash, born September 1975, was an early and influential blogger who began his weblog in 1999.

Previously an independent technology consultant, and a new media developer for the Village Voice, Dash now works as a Vice President for Six Apart, the makers of Movable Type, TypePad and LiveJournal.

In 2003, Dash was one of four bloggers featured on the PBS series Media Matters.

Dash was born and grew up near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. A long-time resident and vocal fan of New York City, he now lives in San Francisco. Aside from his professional role, Dash participated in two prank-like activities that gained attention on the Internet: in 2004, he was the winner of the "nigritude ultramarine" search engine optimization contest, and in 2005 he appeared in a t-shirt mentioning the web site Goatse.cx which was printed in the New York Times.

Dash is also now working on a project to enable blortal solutions although not much is known beyond what is posted on his blog.
