I'm just doing a quick search on Google for LJ related sites

It's actually quite hard, you tend to just find people's journals, requires lots of sifting to find the sites _about_ livejournal, rather than LJ sites. Anyhow, this is done, and I found this one page that I like quite a bit. Snippets from it:

In an article written for the Village Voice called "My Modem, Myself", Julian Dibbell declares, " keep a diary the old-fashioned way and you expose your private life to no one but yourself... keep a diary online and you're exposed to Mom, Dad, potential employers, and strangers in New Zealand with strong opinions about the way last night's date should have been handled." Once a diary is made public, can it even be considered a diary?

Discuss?

Hehehe, a dig at the Haxors among us:

Many of these writers seem to have trouble with the written form of just one language, with multiple spelling and grammar errors present in their entries

I know what Mr Dibbell means. I know that because my journal is so public, I don't say all I would say in a private journal.

However, I've found that's a good thing. In the private journal I used to keep, I would vent about stuff, instead of actually trying to FIX it. Now that I don't do that (I stopped keeping a private journal when I started keeping a public one) I find I'm more likely to fix problems.

That is why it is called Livejournal and not Privatejournal....

I dont tell people I keep a diary - hell, I dodnt even tell people I keep a livejournal!

That's an interesting way of looking at it, never seen it put like that! Though it does make a lot of sense - with a private journal there is no reason to get on and sort something.

Though it is a shame at times to think that you just can't always say everything that you want...

Yeah, but on the other hand, I still have friends and family. *grin*
